Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare disease occurring in 1-2 per million population. It is 2-4 times more common in female. Idiopathic or primary pulmonary hypertension is defined as a disorder with no identifiable cause in which resting mean pulmonary artery pressure in adults is above 25 mmHg and 30 mmHg with exercise.
