Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disease diagnosed when arteries responsible for carrying blood become thick, stiff and clogged. Normally, the arteries transport blood from the heart to the lungs, but in PH the vessel flow is hampered leading to abnormally high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. But how…

The rare and severe lung disease called pulmonary hypertension (PH) affects the pulmonary arteries, causing high blood pressure. The pulmonary arteries transport the blood from the right heart ventricle to the lungs, but when affected by the disease, they become narrowed and thickened. The hearts…

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disease diagnosed when arteries responsible for carrying blood become, thick, stiff and clogged. Normally, the arteries transport blood from the heart to the lungs, but in PH the vessel flow is hampered leading to abnormally high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disease in which small arteries responsible for carrying blood through the lungs become narrow, clogged or stiff. As the flow of blood is hampered, the pressure increases within the arteries, forcing the heart’s lower right chamber, or right ventricle, to work harder to pump blood through…

Pulmonary hypertension (PH)  is a rare lung disease that refers to an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. Unfortunately, there is still no known cure available to end PH, but research has been evolving and doctors and scientists have been discovering some new ways to approach…

Pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disease that refers to an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. These are the arteries that carry deoxygenated blood from a person’s heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen. This condition can affect anyone, at any age and…

https://youtu.be/5KX_0biPgmQ Pulmonary hypertension causes a wide range of physical symptoms. Find out who is more at risk of developing pulmonary hypertension in this article.  But the  physical burden of the disease is not only the struggle PH patients need to face, the emotional burden…

Living with pulmonary hypertension can be quite difficult, especially if you’re a newly diagnosed patient. Since this is a rare condition, there are several questions that may come up which you feel the need to have answered. We’ve put together this list of nine of the most…

A new study from investigators in Wisconsin suggests that treatments reducing the production and breakdown of collagen may be used as therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The research report “Limiting collagen turnover via collagenase‐resistance attenuates right ventricular dysfunction and fibrosis in pulmonary arterial hypertension,” was published in the online journal Physiological Reports.

In this video from 2012 by UT Health Northeast, we find the renowned University of Texas Health Science Center pulmonologist Dr. Julie Philley briefly explaining pulmonary hypertension, defining PH, pointing to causes, symptoms, how to diagnose, and general differences between pulmonary hypertension and “regular”…

This video from Dr. Brent Reed, from the University of Maryland, gives us a general overview of pulmonary arterial hypertension which includes insights into etiology, pathophysiology, and drug management. Dr. Reed focuses on several other topics during this video as well, namely PH categories, general measures in…
