Introduction

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a complex and often misunderstood disorder, characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure.

Pathophysiology

PH is primarily caused by constriction or blockage in the pulmonary arteries, leading to increased workload for the heart.

Clinical Presentation

Treatment

Treatment strategies include vasodilators, endothelin receptor antagonists, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors.

Conclusion

Understanding the fundamentals of PH aids in early detection and effective management, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
