Understanding Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a unique type of high blood pressure that specifically affects the blood vessels in the lungs and the right side of the heart. This condition can make it difficult for your heart to pump blood effectively through the lungs, leading to a variety of health challenges. While it’s a serious condition, understanding its nuances can help manage it effectively.

Spotting the Signs of Pulmonary Hypertension

Early symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension can often be subtle and resemble other common conditions, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or a racing heartbeat. Over time, these symptoms may become more pronounced, potentially leading to swelling in the legs and a bluish tint to the lips or skin due to low oxygen levels. Recognizing these signs early can make a significant difference in management and treatment.

Diagnosing Pulmonary Hypertension

Our specialized cardiologists use a combination of clinical expertise and diagnostic tools to evaluate Pulmonary Hypertension. The assessment might include a thorough review of your medical history, physical exams, and specialized tests such as echocardiograms, chest X-rays, or right heart catheterization to measure the pressure in your heart and lungs accurately.

The Role of Telemedicine in Managing PH
