At Prime Heart Care, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) – a serious condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs becomes abnormally high, putting strain on the right side of the heart. Early detection and specialized care are key to improving outcomes and quality of life.

What is Pulmonary Hypertension?

Pulmonary Hypertension occurs when the blood vessels in the lungs become narrowed, blocked, or stiff, making it harder for blood to flow. This raises pressure in the pulmonary arteries, forcing the heart to pump harder. Over time, it may lead to right heart failure if untreated.

Common Symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension

• Shortness of breath (especially during activity)

• Fatigue and weakness

• Swelling in legs, ankles, or abdomen

• Dizziness or fainting spells

• Chest pain or palpitations

Causes & Risk Factors

Pulmonary Hypertension can be linked to:

• Congenital heart disease

• Left heart disease

• Chronic lung diseases (COPD, sleep apnea, interstitial lung disease)

• Blood clots in the lungs (chronic thromboembolic PH)

• Autoimmune disorders (scleroderma, lupus)

• Genetic factors

Our Approach to Pulmonary Hypertension Care

1. Advanced Diagnostics

   • Echocardiography (2D/3D Echo, Doppler)

   • Right heart catheterization (gold standard)

   • CT scans, lung function tests, and blood investigations

2. Comprehensive Management

   • Medications to lower pulmonary pressures and relax blood vessels

   • Oxygen therapy for patients with associated lung disease

   • Anticoagulation when clot-related PH is suspected

   • Lifestyle modification and supervised exercise plans

3. Specialized Interventions

   • Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty for select patients

   • Surgical referral for advanced cases (e.g., pulmonary endarterectomy, transplant evaluation)
