| pulmonary hypertension |
Elevated blood pressure in the lungs...When the resistance to blood flow in the lungs goes up, the pressure in the pulmonary arteries also increases. The presence of pulmonary hypertension indicates either high blood flow, high resistance, or both. If left untreated, this can lead to heart failure, cyanosis, and eventually serious consequences including death. However, some patients tolerate elevated pressures in the lung arteries for many years.
