DISEASES OF THE VEINS: WHO IS AFFECTED BY PULMONARY HYPERTENSION? HOW SERIOUS IS PULMONARY HYPERTENSION?

Who Is Affected by Pulmonary Hypertension? Individuals with previous pulmonary embolism, chronic emphysema, and certain types of congenital heart disease are at higher risk for the development of pulmonary hypertension. Primary pulmonary hypertension is rare; it occurs most often in young adults, but it can occur at any age. It affects about twice as many women as men.How Serious Is Pulmonary Hypertension? Pulmonary hypertension is usually a very debilitating problem; however, the symptoms and life expectancy are extremely variable, even for people with the same degree of pulmonary blood pressure elevation. People with Eisenmenger’s complex seem to be able to endure very severe pulmonary hypertension for years, although they may be limited in their activities. In people with primary pulmonary hypertension, symptoms tend to develop more rapidly and life expectancy is shorter.*214\252\8*
