Include Pulmonary Hypertension information on your My EmpowHer page
Pulmonary hypertension occurs when there is elevated blood pressure in the blood circulation of the lungs.
Blood flows through the lungs normally at one-sixth of the pressure required for the rest of the body. When, for any number of reasons, pressure rises, a potentially serious condition occurs that requires care from your doctor. If left untreated the right side of the heart can eventually fail.
