High pressure in the lungs, or pulmonary hypertension, is most
commonly due to smoking-related lung disease and conditions
affecting the left heart, for example, high blood pressure in the
arteries, faulty heart valves, and a weakened heart muscle.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is a rare and complex
disease, associated with many different medical conditions, which
is caused by a growth of cells lining the inside of the lung
arteries, resulting in high pressure in areas of the body. Both
conditions lead to strain and potential failure of the right heart,
and therefore awareness and early diagnosis of the condition is
needed to lead to better outcomes: however this depends on
education of all specialists and primary care clinicians about PAH.
This practical handbook covers both PH and PAH, providing
information required by the wide range of clinicians who will
encounter these conditions, including cardiologists, respiratory
physicians, rheumatologists, specialists in liver and AIDS
medicine, and haematologists. It covers what it is, who it is
likely to affect, how it is diagnosed, including the pitfalls of
the various diagnostic tests, the different and evolving forms of
treatment, long term management of this often devastating chronic
disease, and the crucial role of multidisciplinary management in
optimizing clinical care of these patients who usually have
multi-system diseases. It also covers the up new classification for
both PH and PAH, and new drugs that have recently become available.
