Pulmonary Hypertension<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pulmonary hypertension is characterised by elevated blood pressure that builds up in the veins that support the lungs (pulmonary arteries). <\/span><\/p>\n

It is a dangerous disorder that can cause right-sided cardiovascular dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pulmonary artery walls thicken and stiffen, making it difficult for blood to flow through. The decreased blood flow causes the heart’s right ventricle to work much harder to push the blood through the arteries. It might eventually diminish if the right side of your heart requires greater effort all the time. This can develop into <\/span>heart failure.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Pulmonary hypertension is an uncommon disorder that may impact individuals of every age, although it is more likely in individuals with a history of a heart or lung condition.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Inter||||||||” header_2_font=”Inter||||||||” header_3_font=”Inter||||||||” min_height=”370px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
