The term pulmonary hypertension (PH) refers to high blood pressure in the lungs. In PH, the blood vessels in the lungs become damaged and/or narrowed and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them. PH can be caused by many different problems, and it's important to understand that not all PH is the same. In this section, you will find webinars and resources that cover the basics of PH, including the different types, diagnosis and information on research.

With a bit of patience, planning and flexibility, many people affected by PH find ways to work, travel, exercise and do the things they loved before they were diagnosed. Browse this section to learn about coping, managing diet and nutrition, exercising and day-to-day living with PH.

Learning that you or someone that you love has PH can be overwhelming, but you're not alone. There is a compassionate and inspiring community of people ready to help. Visit this section to find resources that are specifically designed for newly diagnosed pulmonary hypertension patients and their families.
