PULMONARY HYPERTENSION ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC LUNG DISEASES. Pulmonary hypertension is commonly observed in chronic respiratory diseases. It is responsible for a worsening of quality of life and a decrease in patient survival in the short and medium term. As in all other types of pulmonary hypertension, the formal diagnosis is based on data from right heart catheterization. It's regard as severe if the pulmonary vascular resistance is greater than 5 Wood units. It is only in such a condition that specific treatment should be discussed within a pulmonary hypertension centre.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
