Primary Pulmonary Hypertension treatment in Ciudad de México

Primary pulmonary hypertension is a sustained increase in the pressure of the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs, without an identifiable underlying cause that explains it. Over time it forces the heart to work harder.

Common symptoms: it usually shows up with shortness of breath on exertion, fatigue, dizziness, and, at times, a sensation of tightness in the chest.

Which specialist treats it? Its study falls mainly to the cardiologist and the pulmonologist; in children, the pediatric cardiologist and the pediatrician take part, and the vascular surgeon may join depending on the case. In the face of persistent respiratory symptoms, the most prudent thing is to seek a professional evaluation that can guide the next steps.
