Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is a medical condition that occurs when the pressure in the arteries of the lungs becomes too high, which can cause the right side of the heart to become enlarged and less efficient at pumping blood. It can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and even heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and treatment in order to improve quality of life and manage the symptoms. Treatments may include medications, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgery or a lung transplant. Early diagnosis and management of pulmonary hypertension is essential to help improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.
