Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a serious disease of the arteries connecting the lungs to the heart (the pulmonary arteries). As Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) develops,
blood flow through the pulmonary arteries is restricted and the right side of the heart is put under increasing strain to pump blood through to the lungs. This leads to the main symptoms
of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) - breathlessness, chest tightness, limited exercise capacity and fatigue.
