PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a circulatory abnormality characterizes by increased vascular resistance in the small circulation, usually through mixed mechanisms, involving vasoconstriction, arterial wall remodeling and in situ thrombosis. The progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) leads to right ventricular failure (IVD) and early death. The diagnostic criteria are: systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) > 30 mmHg and diastolic pressure (PDAP) > 15 mmHg , mean pulmonary artery pressure (PMAP) > 25 mmHg at rest, or > 30 mmHg during exercise1,2. PAH is classified into three subgroups:1- Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). 2- Familial pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). 3- Pulmonary arterial hypertension related to risk factors or associated conditions (PAH)

Abstract:
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a circulatory abnormality characterizes by increased vascular resistance in the small circulation, usually through mixed mechanisms, involving vasoconstriction, arterial wall remodeling and in situ thrombosis. The progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) leads to right ventricular failure (IVD) and early death. The diagnostic criteria are: systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) > 30 mmHg and diastolic pressure (PDAP) > 15 mmHg , mean pulmonary artery pressure (PMAP) > 25 mmHg at rest, or > 30 mmHg during exercise1,2. PAH is classified into three subgroups:1- Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). 2- Familial pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). 3- Pulmonary arterial hypertension related to risk factors or associated conditions (PAH).
