Pulmonary Hypertension: A Complex Condition- Part 2

About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of pulmonary hypertension and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and individualized treatment.

In Part 2 of this Health Report series, KYW Newsradio’s Rasa Kaye continues her conversation with Dr. Geurys Rojas-Marte, Medical Director of Advanced Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension Programs at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, to further explore why pulmonary hypertension is far more complex than high blood pressure elsewhere in the body. In this episode, they dive deeper into the five types of pulmonary hypertension, expand on underlying causes, clarify often-confusing symptoms, and explain why early recognition is critical to protecting the heart and lungs. Dr. Rojas-Marte also shares additional insight into what living with PH looks like today and how individualized treatment can slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
