MODERN METHODS OF TREATING PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
Bakhramova Azima Abbasovna
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in pressure in the pulmonary circulation.
In most cases it is secondary, in some cases it is idiopathic. Pulmonary hypertension
may involve narrowing, contraction, loss, and/or blockage of the pulmonary vessels.
Severe pulmonary hypertension leads to right ventricular overload and right ventricular
failure. Symptoms of pulmonary hypertension include fatigue, shortness of breath on
exertion, and sometimes chest discomfort and syncope. Diagnosis is made by recording
elevated pulmonary artery pressure (assessed using echocardiography and confirmed
by right heart catheterization). Treatment is with pulmonary vasodilators and diuretics.
In some severe cases, lung transplantation is considered as an option. If a treatable
cause of the disease is not identified, the prognosis is poor.
