Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Hypertension is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries leading from the heart to the lungs, forcing the heart to work harder and causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, and a fast heartbeat. It is diagnosed when the pulmonary mean arterial pressure exceeds 20mmHg at rest and pulmonary vascular resistance is greater than 3 Wood units.
