Pulmonary hypertension is a complex and underdiagnosed condition that affects the blood vessels in the lungs. Blood vessels can become stiff, damaged or narrow, causing the right side of the heart to work harder to pump blood through. In this inaugural episode of PH Insights, Jenny Yang provides a comprehensive overview of PH, its classifications and common misconceptions associated with the condition. Listen now for valuable insights into PH and new advancements in research and treatment that offer hope to people with PH.
Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Our mission is to extend and improve the lives of those affected by PH.
Our vision is a world without PH, empowered by hope.
We are the largest and oldest pulmonary hypertension association in the world, and we are changing the history of an illness.
We started from simple beginnings in 1991 when four women met around a kitchen table in Florida. Since then, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association has evolved into an international community of more than 16,000 people with PH, caregivers, family members and health care professionals.
PHA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on donations to fund its many programs, including a network of 200-plus patient and caregiver support groups, lifesaving early diagnosis awareness and education programs, specialty care resources, and research to prevent and cure PH.
We work every day to end isolation, provide education, involve our constituents in everything we do, and find a cure for pulmonary hypertension.
