Pulmonary Venous Hypertension

Pulmonary Venous Hypertension (PVH) is a condition where the blood pressure in the lungs’ veins rises higher than normal. This occurs when the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, often due to heart diseases. As pressure increases, it can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. Over time, PVH can lead to serious complications, including right heart failure. Treatment focuses on managing underlying heart conditions and relieving symptoms, aiming to improve quality of life and prevent further health issues. Health care providers may use medications or other interventions to help manage this condition.
