Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure

Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates heart failure, increasing morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and targeted therapy are essential.

Key Highlights:

• Pathophysiology: Increased pulmonary vascular resistance secondary to left heart disease.
• Symptoms: Dyspnea, fatigue, and exercise intolerance.
• Diagnosis: Echocardiography, right heart catheterization, and biomarkers.
• Treatment: Vasodilators, diuretics, oxygen therapy, and management of underlying heart failure.
• Prognosis: Early detection and treatment improve functional capacity and survival.

Addressing pulmonary hypertension in heart failure requires a multidisciplinary approach to optimize outcomes and reduce complications.
