Pulmonary Arterial hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs (pulmonary arteries). It occurs when the small blood vessels in the lungs become narrowed, blocked, or damaged, making it harder for blood to flow through them. This leads to increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which puts strain on the heart's right ventricle, causing it to work harder to pump blood to the lungs.

 

Symptoms of pulmonary hypertension may include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, swelling in the ankles or legs (edema), and a rapid heartbeat. However, these symptoms are not specific to PH and can occur in other conditions as well.
