Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Hypertension is a serious and life-threatening medical condition in which the blood pressure in the lungs is abnormally high leading to difficulty in breathing. It occurs when the walls of the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs become narrowed or stiff, resulting in increased pressure in the lungs. This can cause damage to the heart and even lead to heart failure. Treatments for this condition include medications, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgery. Early detection and treatment is essential for managing the condition and improving quality of life. Pulmonary Hypertension is a serious, but manageable condition and with appropriate medical care people can still lead productive lives.
