NIH Rare Diseases: Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is a progressive condition that affects the heart and lungs. It is characterized by abnormally high blood pressure (hypertension) in the pulmonary artery, the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. The most common signs and symptoms are shortness of breath (dyspnea) during exertion and fainting spells. As the condition worsens, people can experience dizziness, swelling (edema) of the ankles or legs, chest pain, and a racing pulse. Most cases of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension occur in individuals with no known family history of the disorder. Although some cases are due to mutations in the BMPR2 gene and inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, a gene mutation has not yet been identified in most individuals.30
MalaCards: Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, also known as sporadic primary pulmonary hypertension, is related to pulmonary hypertension and connective tissue disease. An important gene associated with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is BMPR2 (bone morphogenetic protein receptor, type II (serine/threonine kinase)), and among its related pathways are PPAR Pathway and Signaling by BMP. The drugs alprostadil and hydralazine and the compounds nitroglycerin and hirudin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, heart and smooth muscle, and related mouse phenotypes are liver/biliary system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Genetics Home Reference: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive disorder characterized by abnormally high blood pressure (hypertension) in the pulmonary artery, the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. Hypertension occurs when most of the very small arteries throughout the lungs narrow in diameter, which increases the resistance to blood flow through the lungs. To overcome the increased resistance, pressure increases in the pulmonary artery and in the heart chamber that pumps blood into the pulmonary artery (the right ventricle).17 OMIM: 178600 |
