Absolutely, yet PHTN: remains poorly understood with few good treatments. Common drivers include: (a) Smoking driving COPD (combination of bronchitis&emphysema) (b) recurrent venous clots which shed & go to the lungs, (c) ↑ed blood flow to the lungs, such as a result of an atrial septal defect, (d) wind instruments etc All these issues = typically without symptoms until Pul HTN is quite advanced. http://goo.gl/Blh6rW.
