Pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to progressive increase of pulmonary vascular resistance, heart failure and death.Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a subset of PH affecting small pulmonary arteries and not associated with underlying heart or lung disease.Dyspnoea and exercise intolerance are hallmarks of PAH and are used to monitor disease progression.
