Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Pulmonary Hypertension is a serious and unrelenting pulmonary vascular disorder that affects the functional quality of patients significantly and decrease the lifespan. Diagnosis at early stage may save many life as numbers of therapeutic options are available. Etiological diagnosis of PAH is very important as everyone demands separate therapeutic protocol and may curable if diagnosed in time. As the symptoms are often subtle in the early stage of disease it is imperative that physician should be aware of the manifestation of condition. A routine work up may be carried out in well equipped Hospital at periphery in many affluent and advanced countries. In developing countries like India work up can only be done in a tertiary care centre under the supervision of pulmonologist and cardiologist. In our study we had tried to focus the etiological diagnosis of PAH as availability of resources in our setup to give a brief idea in this population group. Comparative young age group were choosen as the stage of disease in this age group shows significant reversibility with proper treatment.
