About this episode
Dr. Geurys Rojas-Marte discusses the complexities of pulmonary hypertension and its impact on health.
KYW Newsradio’s Rasa Kaye sits down with Dr. Geurys Rojas-Marte, Medical Director of Advanced Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension Programs at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, to explain why pulmonary hypertension is far more complex than high blood pressure elsewhere in the body. Together, they break down the five types of pulmonary hypertension, the underlying causes, the often-confusing symptoms, and why early recognition is critical to protecting the heart and lungs. Dr. Rojas-Marte also shares what living with PH looks like today and how individualized treatment can slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
