Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)
Pulmonary hypertension is a kind of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs and your heart. Pulmonary hypertension makes people short of breath and often looks like other lung diseases.
As the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado, has special insights into the link between lung disease and heart disease. In fact, our Pulmonary Hypertension Program is one of the only specialized treatment centers in the region. Our pulmonary hypertension team includes cardiologists, pulmonologists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, and other specialists. They work together to develop a customized plan of care for you.
Our doctors are researchers too, so you have access to the latest pulmonary hypertension clinical trials and most effective treatments.
