Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with 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 should I handle arteriosclerotic hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary arterial hypertension refers to a hemodynamic and pathophysiological state where the pulmonary artery pressure exceeds a certain threshold, which can lead to right heart failure. It can be an independent disease, a complication, or a syndrome. Treatment includes:1. General measures, rehabilitation/exercise, exercise training, psychosocial support, contraception, vaccination.
2. Supportive treatment, anticoagulant drugs, diuretics, digitalis, oxygen therapy.
3. Targeted drug therapy, among which it is worth noting that the mortality rate of thrombectomy can reach 5% to 15%. This depends on the identification, screening, and regulation of the genes that cause pulmonary arterial hypertension. Although the prospects are promising, its short-term clinical application is not yet feasible.
