Overview

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disorder characterised by high blood pressure in the blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs, which are called pulmonary arteries. PH can affect people of all ages.

High blood pressure causes narrowing of the lung arteries, affecting the blood flow and resulting in less oxygen in the bloodstream. PH affects approximately 1% of the global population. It is classified based on the clinical condition associated with PH, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and PH associated with left heart disease and lung disease.
