New fundamental clinical approach to Pulmonary hypertension

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a group of diseases characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. Increased pulmonary resistance causes right ventricular heart failure and premature death of patients. The prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in the general population can be as high as 20-50 per 100,000 populations. Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension develops in young women between the ages of 20 and 40. In men, this disease is less common. Secondary PH develops in various chronic lung diseases and diseases accompanied by hypoxemia, as well as in the pathology of the left heart, chronic pulmonary embolism and other pathological processes accompanied by a violation in the pulmonary vascular bed. In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the study of this issue, and the problem of timely and effective diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension is very relevant. It is necessary to highlight the following areas in order for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pulmonary hypertension to be successful. In the article we will analyze what is Definition Pulmonary hypertension.
