Signs can be mistaken for asthma, COPD or a heart condition

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a type of high blood pressure in your lungs. When PH strikes, it can force the heart to work harder, increasing your risk for heart-related complications.

PH can develop from a wide variety of health conditions. Pinpointing its underlying cause is essential for the best prognosis and treatment.

Come hear a board-certified pulmonologist describe the signs, diagnosis, complications and latest treatments for this dangerous condition. Then learn how pulmonary rehabilitation can help PH patients improve their quality of life.
