How can pulmonary hypertension protect from pulmonary odema?
This mentioned in davidson 23 edition, page 517 , mitral stenosis subject “ Atrial fibrillation is very common due to progressive dilatation of the LA. Its onset often precipitates pulmonary oedema because the accompanying tachycardia and loss of atrial contraction lead to marked haemodynamic deterioration and a rapid rise in left atrial pressure. In the absence of AF, a more gradual rise in left atrial pressure may occur. In the presence or absence of AF, pulmonary hypertension may occur, which can protect the patient from pulmonary oedema.“

Can cirrhosis cause pulmonary hypertension?
Yes, cirrhosis can lead to pulmonary hypertension, primarily through the development of portopulmonary hypertension. This condition arises when increased blood flow and pressure in the pulmonary arteries occur due to changes in the vascular system associated with liver disease. Additionally, cirrhosis can cause hypoxia and other factors that may further contribute to elevated pulmonary artery pressure. It is important for patients with cirrhosis to be monitored for potential cardiovascular complications, including pulmonary hypertension.
What is The correct ICD-10 code for essential hypertension?
The code for hypertension is I10
How does obstructive sleep apnea contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension?
Obstructive sleep apnea can lead to pulmonary hypertension by causing repeated episodes of low oxygen levels during sleep. This can put strain on the heart and lungs, leading to increased blood pressure in the lungs and potentially causing pulmonary hypertension.

What are the reasons for pulmonary hypertension?
The cause of pulmonary hypertension is unknown. It is rare, affecting one people per-million. The illness most often occurs in young adults, especially women.
where can I get info on pulmonary hypertension.?

Is there a connection to cardio-artery disease and pulmonary hypertension?
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.
