Pulmonary hypertension is a complex and multidisciplinary disorder. The classification of pulmonary hypertension includes 5 groups. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare disorder that can be idiopathic or heritable in nature, or associated with other conditions, such as scleroderma or congenital heart disease. The recent decades have realized advances in the treatment of this once devastati...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition characterised by increased pulmonary vascular resistance leading to right heart failure and death. The clinical classification distinguishes idiopathic PAH, familial PAH, and PAH associated with other conditions (connective tissue disease, congenital heart disease, portal hypertension, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or appetite ...

There is abundant evidence that the height of an individual's systemic arterial pressure is related, in a graded way, to his chances of developing ischaemic heart disease or cerebrovascular disease. The way in which the link operates in respect of coronary disease is not yet known, and further evidence is required before we can accept that the hypertension is necessarily a direct causal factor ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by vascular obstruction and the variable presence of vasoconstriction, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right-sided heart failure. PAH can present in an idiopathic form, usually called primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), and PAH is also associated with the scleroderma spectrum of diseases, HIV infection, portal hyper...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a term used to classify a variety of conditions that have in common an injury to the pulmonary vasculature that produces elevations in pulmonary arterial pressure. There have been considerable advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of PAH over the past decade. The article reviews the classification of diseases associated with PAH...

BACKGROUND Despite the increased risk for pulmonary hypertension in children with Down syndrome, the response to treatment with targeted therapies for pulmonary hypertension in these patients is not well characterized. The Sildenafil in Treatment-naive children, Aged 1-17 years, with pulmonary arterial hypertension (STARTS-1) trial was a dose-ranging study of the short-term efficacy and safety ...

SUMMARY. Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the main risk factors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and myocardial infarction (MI). From a clinical perspective, blood pressure (BP) should be closely monitored in patients with many reasons, primarily to prevent further target organ damage complications. However, there currently no single point view regarding BP levels certain categories differ...

Various methods were devised in attempts to produce chronic hypertension in dogs. The induction of anxiety was unsuccessful. Bilateral renal denervation combined with injections of epinephrine appeared to produce temporary hypertension. Permanent hypertension was induced by unilateral renal ischemia with the other kidney left intact only in dogs of nervous temperament. Certain dogs were extreme...
