Abstract

Thompson Wright

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a complex and life-threatening condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to increased workload on the right ventricle and eventual heart failure. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosing, and managing PH. This comprehensive review aims to explore the current trends in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary hypertension, focusing on the latest research, technological innovations, and therapeutic strategies. By discussing the various diagnostic tools, classification systems, and treatment options available, this paper endeavors to shed light on the advancements that have improved the outlook for patients with PH.
