Pulmonary hypertension(P-h) is a syndrome that involves heart and lung. Diseases like COPD (chronic pulmonary disease) May also cause pulmonary hypertension. Not all the cardio-artery disease is related to P-h. Heart has valves. Dysfunction of these valves will cause tension to the blood flow, leading to p-h.
Hypertension. High blood pressure.
Cor pulmonale
Yes, there can be a connection.
Heart disease, lung disease and diabetes can all be considered organ diseases. Lung disease is a pulmonary disease, while heart disease is a cardiovascular disease. They are different.
none. there are 4 pulmonary veins and they all empty into the left atrium, except in cases of congenital heart disease with anomalous pulmonary venous return to the right atrium.
You can find all the information you need to know about the disease, pulmonary hypertension, at this website, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_hypertension.
There are five different types of pulmonary hypertension including artery, venous, hypoxic, thromboembolic and miscellaneous. This disease can cause heart failure so it is very serious.
Postural means standing. Hypertension means high blood pressure and hypotension is low blood pressure. You get a different reading if you are sitting versus standing while taking blood pressure.
Primary pulmonary hypertension is generally classified as a disease of the lung, related to high blood-pressure. Essentially, the increased pressure causes some pulmonary arteries and veins to work at drastically different rates than others, creating an imbalance that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, fainting, and a persistent cough.
If a person has chronic hypertension, he or she is at risk of developing a whole host of problems. These include Heart disease, pulmonary embolisms, and excessive swelling in the hands, face, and feet.
When either the mitral or aortic valve is diseased, the heart's ability to pump blood from inside the left ventricle to the aorta (which brings blood to the rest of the body) is compromised. Blood backlogs into the pulmonary vessels (blood moves from the lungs to the left side of the heart) which increases pressure in the pulmonary vessels, eventually leading to pulmonary hypertension.
Chronic dyspnea can be caused by asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema, inflammation of the lungs, pulmonary hypertension, tumors, or disorders of the vocal cords
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessel, and is one of the principal vital signs. Arterial hypertension or hypertension or high BP can be an indicator of other problems and may have long-term adverse effects. Sometimes it can be an acute problem, for example hypertensive emergency. Types of hypertension usually are primary and secondary, in that alcohol induced, medication induced, pregnancy induced, isolated systolic, isolated diastolic, white coat hypertension (BP due to stress) and malignant hypertension or hypertension emergency are present. In medicine, pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHT) is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to SOB, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure. So both are different terms.
Yes, pulmonary hypertension can be, and it is being, treated with Viagra. Two years ago, I myself was diagnosed with severe pulmonary hypertension. Its almost about a ear that i have been advised Viagra for its treatment, my condition has really improved a lot by regularly taking Viagra.

There are a few things that can cause you to have insufficient oxygen. Lung disease, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, lung fibrosis or lung cancer to name a few.
Hypertension from Renal disease is different from the usual hypertension caused by stress because in renal hypertension, the cause is because of a defect or a disease in the Renal system while the other is caused by stress.
