Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is high blood pressure in the lungs that weakens the heart and disrupts blood flow. It can occur without a clear cause or be associated with autoimmune diseases, lung issues or heart conditions. The right ventricle works harder, causing it to enlarge and weaken, resulting in PH symptoms.
At INTEGRIS Health Pulmonary Hypertension Center, our experienced caregivers are committed to treating and managing PH. Our center is Oklahoma's only nationally accredited Pulmonary Hypertension Care Center, leading the way in PH care.
