A member asked:
How long can people live for after a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on severity: The survival for pulmonary hypertension depends on the cause and the severity. Primary pulmonary hypertension has some very potent treatments. Secondary pulmonary hypertension ( from heart disease, lung disease or other) depends on the severity of the underlying condition. You should connect with a specialist who has information about your particular condition for a better determination.
