Pulmonary Hypertension, Primary, 4; Pph4

Description

Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare progressive disease characterized by increased pulmonary artery pressure in the absence of common causes of pulmonary hypertension, such as chronic heart, lung, or thromboembolic disease. There is often vascular remodeling. The clinical presentation can be nonspecific, and patients often receive a diagnosis late in their clinical course (summary by Ma et al., 2013).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of primary pulmonary hypertension, see PPH1 (OMIM ).
