Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How can pulmonary hypertension be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Pharmacological treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension can be tailored to individualized treatment plans based on different clinical types of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can also involve selecting medications to lower pulmonary artery pressure based on functional classification. For patients who do not respond effectively to standardized medical treatment, interventional or heart-lung transplant surgical options may be considered. In cases of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy can be performed. Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension who do not respond to medication may undergo lung transplantation.
