Pulmonary hypertension is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries of your lungs (pulmonary arteries) is too high. This can make it hard for your heart to pump blood through your lungs and may eventually lead to heart failure.

Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive, debilitating lung disorder that can significantly reduce the quality of life and lead to early death. There is currently no cure for pulmonary hypertension, but with proper treatment and management, patients can enjoy a good quality of life.

Pulmonary hypertension is caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, underlying lung disease, and exposure to certain toxins. The condition can also be caused by heart conditions, such as left-sided heart failure or chronic thromboembolic disease.
