SLUCare Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic - SLUCare Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Med.

Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. This occurs when the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow. As the heart works harder to pump the blood, it becomes enlarged, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, leg swelling or chest pain. Dr. John Mwangi talks about the benefits of the SLUCare Pulmonary Hypertension clinic for the management and treatment of the condition. More information online at www.slucare.edu
