Pulmonary hypertension refers to high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. When these arteries become narrowed, whether from clots, inflammation or other causes, the heart must work harder to push blood through, leading to pulmonary arterial hypertension. Over time, this strain can weaken the heart and reduce the amount of oxygen-rich blood reaching the muscles.
