	Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) Fact Sheet - American Lung Association site
		Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease of unknown cause that results in the progressive narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs, causing high blood pressure in these blood vessels and eventually leading to heart failure.
		PPH is diagnosed only after several possible causes of pulmonary hypertension are excluded; additional tests are usually needed.
		Patients with severe PPH may be candidates for lung transplantation or heart-lung transplantation.

		Hemorrhoid Treatment PPH Minimally Invasive Hemorrhoid Surgery.There was little incentive for physicians to diagnose pulmonary arterial hypertension, since it was fatal and the treatment was a difficult for the patient.
		Because PPH cannot be diagnosed until all types of secondary pulmonary hypertension (of which there are many) have been excluded on clinical grounds, PPH is very difficult to diagnose.
		The incidence of PPH is estimated at 1 to 2 per million in the general population, however the use of the diet drug Fen-Phen has created a dramatic increase in the risk of developing PPH.

		PPH is a program for inferring haplotypes from genotypes to determine if there are resulting haplotypes that fit a tree model (i.e.
		In more population genetic terms, PPH determines whether a set of SNP genotypes can be explained by haplotype pairs that could have evolved on a coalescent under the no-recombination, infinite sites model.
		Hence it determines for SNP genotype data what the three or four gametes test (depending on whether the tree is rooted or not) determines for haplotype data.

	PPH and FEN PHEN \| FEN PHEN CAUSES PPH
		In patients with PPH, the average blood pressure in the pulmonary artery is greater than 25 mm Hg at rest and greater than 30 mm Hg during exercise.
		One of the great difficulties in treating PPH is that the diagnosis is often delayed due to the slowly progressive and insidious onset of the symptoms.

		Before the development of these drug treatments, PPH was rapidly fatal with nearly two thirds of patients having only three years after the date of diagnosis.
		The initial stages consist of evaluating the extent of the PPH by measuring the vasoreactivity or degree to which the pulmonary arteries can be dilated or opened with drug therapy.
		If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with PPH and have used Fen Phen or related diet drugs, you may be entitled to substantial compensation to help pay for treatment.

		There is no known cure for PPH, a lung condition where abnormally increased blood pressure occurs in the blood vessels in the lungs.
		Studies have also demonstrated that PPH is rare, with a rate of approximately one to two cases of PPH per million people and, it also appears that those cases are have a family or genetic link.
		The median period of survival for patients with PPH is three years after diagnosis – longer for those patients who did not suffer heart failure, and for those diagnosed after age 40.

	about PPH
		The presumed reason is due to that fact that an extensive workup is necessary to elucidate the cause of a patient's elevated pulmonary artery pressure, and the early symptoms are non-specific.
		Because of the common presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in the sera of some patients with PPH, it is often difficult to say with certainty that these patients have PPH and that the elevated pulmonary artery pressures are not due to a secondary cause, which may not yet be clinically apparent.
		The treatment of PPH includes the use of anticoagulant therapy to reduce the incidence of thrombosis within the pulmonary vasculature.

		PPH is most common in women between ages 21 and 40.
		Leading experts believe PPH is likely caused by some type of infection that arrives in the pulmonary vascular bed in genetically susceptible persons.
		Although no cure currently exists, one encouraging aspect for medical researchers is that PPH is likely not systemic in origin, in that it has never recurred in a person who received a lung transplant.

		This classification is increasingly falling out of favor due to the similar clinical path of many forms of SPH with PPH, overlapping histopathological features among the two classifications, and correlations of PPH occurrence with certain other diseases and exogenous ingested substances, even if the precise cause remains unclear.
		In other words, it is now believed that PPH is not really distinct from much of SPH, at least as far as the pathophysiology and treatment of pulmonary hypertension is concerned.

		Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or PPH is a pulmonary disease that involves significantly elevated pressures in the pulmonary arteries when no cardio-pulmonary, or other, disease or dysfunction has been identified or diagnosed as the cause of the elevated pressures.
		The initial and most common symptom of PPH is shortness of breath that often progresses to dyspnea (breathing with marked difficulty) and occasional hyperventilation.
		Increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries results from a progressive narrowing of the pulmonary arterioles - the smaller branches of the main pulmonary arteries.
