Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension treatment in Puebla

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is suspected and assessed when there are symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath with no obvious cause, and it corresponds to elevated pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs, without an identifiable origin.

What it is: The term idiopathic indicates that no underlying cause is recognized, and the increase in pressure forces the heart to work harder.

Common symptoms: Tiredness, difficulty breathing with exertion, dizziness, or palpitations.

Which specialists treat it? The cardiologist and the pulmonologist work together in its evaluation, and in children the pediatric cardiologist and the pediatrician take part. If you experience unusual fatigue or persistent shortness of breath, an evaluation with these professionals helps to clarify its origin.
