Pulmonary hypertension in children?

summary

Many people don't know the severity of pulmonary hypertension in children. Pulmonary hypertension is an extremely malignant disease, which is the endothelial tumor of pulmonary artery. Most of the patients are young people, almost everyone knows that the prognosis of cancer is poor, but no one knows that pulmonary hypertension is an extremely malignant disease, its prognosis is catastrophic, this disease is cancer in cardiovascular disease. Now let's talk about the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension in children.

Pulmonary hypertension in children?

Pulmonary hypertension in children is an extremely malignant disease. More than 70% of the patients are young people. Almost everyone knows that the prognosis of cancer is poor, but no one knows that pulmonary hypertension is an extremely malignant disease, and its prognosis is catastrophic. It can be said that this disease is cancer in cardiovascular diseases.

Primary pulmonary hypertension is an endothelial tumor of the pulmonary artery, which is equivalent to the rapid growth and growth of endothelial cells in the pulmonary artery lumen after malignant transformation. Without proper treatment, the patient will soon die of uncorrectable right heart failure.

75% of pulmonary hypertension patients died within 5 years after diagnosis, and the average survival time was 1.9 years after symptoms appeared; The average survival time of patients with right heart failure was less than 1 year. With the progress of treatment, the survival time of patients is increasing year by year. Early diagnosis and treatment in time can make 20% of patients' condition stable or even cured.

matters needing attention

Pulmonary hypertension is rare in clinic, and the clinical symptoms are lack of specificity. If the doctor is not clear about the diagnosis procedure of pulmonary hypertension and is not familiar with the classification of pulmonary hypertension, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as general heart disease or asthma. If clinicians notice that X-ray chest film has right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary artery segment protrusion and can not be explained by common chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease and other diseases, they should think of the possibility of this disease. At this time, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and other examinations should be carried out to detect pulmonary artery pressure, and relevant series of examinations should be carried out.
