Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background
Hypertension is the medical term for an abnormally high blood pressure. Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is a rare progressive disorder in which blood pressure in the lungs rises far above normal levels. PPH may affect individuals at any age, including new born babies and infants of either gender, and all races and ethnic origins. Most commonly, however, PPH affects women in their thirties and forties.
The UK National Specialist Commissioning Group includes a pulmonary
hypertension service. Services are based at: the Papworth Hostpital,
Cambridge; the Western Infirmary, Glasgow; the Hammersmith Hospital,
London; the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle-upon-Tyne; and the Royal
Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.
