Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment.

    Pulmonary Hypertension (also called PH, PPH, primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension or PAH for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension) is a disease that causes the arteries of the lungs to constrict leading to right heart failure. This site is intended as a guide to patients with pulmonary hypertension, providing updates on the latest therapy and innovations in treating this deadly disease.

    In the past few years there has been an increasing awareness of pulmonary hypertension. Both the medical profession and several drug makers have focused attention on the disease. This has resulted in the development of promising new therapies including tracleer and remodulin, which promise to re-define future treatment. Pulmonary Hypertension
is a rare disease with less than 100,000 patients in the United States. However, the incidence of the disease appears to be on the rise and if left untreated it can be quickly fatal.
