A member asked:
For what length of time can someone expect to live with untreated pulmonary hypertension?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: There are many types and causes of it. The worse case scenarios are those with pulmonary arterial hypertension (ph) and ph associated with scleroderma. Those may have a 50% chance of dying in 3-5 years left untreated.
