Pulmonary Hypertension Definition Pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disorder characterized by increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the lower chamber on the right side of the heart (right ventricle) to the lungs where it picks up oxygen....
Types of Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension is divided into 5 categories: Pulmonary arterial hypertension involves destruction or narrowing of the pulmonary artery due to inherited or unknown causes, some drugs or toxins, and certain medical conditions,...
(pulmonary, arterial, hypertension, PAH) is one of pulmonary hypertension, which refers to elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and normal pulmonary venous pressure. The main reason is the increased pulmonary artery resistance caused by primary pulmonary artery primary lesion or other primary diseases, ...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and progressive disease leading to right heart failure and ultimately death if untreated. The first classification of PH was proposed in 1973. In 2008, the fourth World Symposium on PH held in Dana Point
Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension, a complex and multifaceted disease, is characterized by an increase in the vascular pressure within the lung causing shortness of breath, fainting, and, in more severe cases, heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension can originate from either artery or vein...

Primary pulmonary artery hypertension is defined as a mean resting pulmonary artery pressure > 25 mmHg or a mean pulmonary artery pressure > 30 mmHg with exercise. The World Health Organizations definition is a pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 40 mmH
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a multifactorial disease, and pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading with increased pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right heart failur
