Introduction

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition characterized by increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to heart failure if untreated.

Pathophysiology

PH results from vasoconstriction or thrombosis in pulmonary vasculature, causing increased resistance to blood flow.

Clinical Presentation

Patients typically present with shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. Diagnosis is confirmed via echocardiogram and right heart catheterization.

Treatment

Treatment options include vasodilators, anticoagulants, and in severe cases, lung transplantation.

Conclusion

Understanding PH's fundamentals aids in early detection, appropriate intervention, and improved patient outcomes.
