First, pulmonary hypertension is often caused by other diseases. Such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema and so on. Especially in patients with emphysema prone to pulmonary hypertension. Blood flows from the right ventricle to the pulmonary vessels. If the pressure of the pulmonary vessels increases, the heart will use more force to press the blood into the pulmonary vessels.

Second, pulmonary hypertension is the mean pulmonary artery pressure measured by right heart catheters at rest due to various causes. A group of clinical pathophysiologic syndromes ≥ 25mmhg. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, syncope, chest pain, and edema in the legs and ankles.
