PH is an important clinical cardio-pulmonary entity , which we confront day to day. Though the prevalence of PH in a community is just 1 % (25 times less than systemic hypertension) it deserves a special place as the diagnosis is more complex and outcome is often adverse.

Lowering the raised LA mean pressure is a major therapeutic goal in any severely symptomatic left heart disease, whether it is valvular or myocardial disease.

There are numerous factors that can lead to cardiomegaly, ranging from temporary conditions to chronic diseases. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Persistent high blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood. Over time, this additional strain causes the heart muscle to thicken, enlarging the heart.
