Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I take medicine regularly to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. Can pulmonary hypertension be cured?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension depends on the cause of the condition in the patient. If the pulmonary arterial hypertension is caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, it is referred to as cor pulmonale. For such patients, active treatment of the primary disease is necessary, including anti-infection, spasm relief, and diuretic therapy, which can effectively reduce pulmonary arterial hypertension. If the pulmonary arterial hypertension is caused by pulmonary thromboembolism, active anticoagulation, thrombolysis, and circulation improvement therapy should be provided to specifically target and reduce pulmonary arterial hypertension, thereby alleviating the clinical symptoms of the patient.
