Introduction

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), a progressive disorder characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Etiology and Pathophysiology

PH is multifactorial, with diverse etiologies including cardiac disease, lung disease, and idiopathic origins. The pathophysiology involves endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction, and vascular remodeling.

Diagnostic Strategies

Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, utilizing echocardiography, right heart catheterization, and other tests.

Therapeutic Approaches

Therapies aim to improve symptoms, slow disease progression, and enhance quality of life, involving vasodilators, anticoagulants, and lung transplantation.

Conclusion

Understanding PH's complexities is crucial for effective management, requiring ongoing research and education.
