You are certainly welcome, and thanks for your response. I wish you well going forward.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
Very useful information that I will discuss with my doctor.
Pulmonary hypertension indicates the degree of resistence the right ventrical is pumping against. The higher than normal resistence can be due pulonary vewsel constriction, occlusion, or clots (thrombosis). And/or the lungs offer more than normal resistence due to embolism (clots) or other pulmonary issues. The increased resistence causes the right ventrical to increase in size due to the additional burden.
An advanced condition of an enlarged right ventricle can cause the right ventricle to lose pumping strength and less blood is pumped to the lungs. The decrease in blood to the lungs reduces the blood to the left ventricle, and this decrease can/will cause heart failure. Worst case scenario.
Hope this helps. Thanks for you question and if you have any followup questions you are welcome to respond. Take care.
