    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_hypertension

    Pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHTN) is a condition of increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. [7] Symptoms include shortness of breath, fainting, tiredness, chest pain, swelling of the legs, and a fast heartbeat.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Pulmonary_arterial_hypertension

    Two conditions, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis comprise this category. The subcategory is characterized by severe hypoxemia, capillary congestion and prominent post-capillary venule thickening. [2] Group 1.7 PAH, with an estimated 0.18% prevalence, is persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

  4. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_thromboembolic...

    Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a long-term disease caused by a blockage in the blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arterial tree). These blockages cause increased resistance to flow in the pulmonary arterial tree which in turn leads to rise in pressure in these arteries ...

  6. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

    The pathophysiology of pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) has always indicated that an increase in right ventricular afterload causes RV failure (pulmonary vasoconstriction, anatomic disruption/pulmonary vascular bed and increased blood viscosity are usually involved [1]), however most of the time, the right ventricle adjusts to an overload in chronic pressure.

  7. Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_capillary_hemang...

    Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is a disease affecting the blood vessels of the lungs, where abnormal capillary proliferation and venous fibrous intimal thickening result in progressive increase in vascular resistance. [1] It is a rare cause of pulmonary hypertension, and occurs predominantly in young adults.
