Events taking place today in Brussels and Vienna mark the launch of a new European campaign to raise awareness of pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs which can affect anyone at any age and can kill. Improved diagnosis and awareness of PH are urgently needed to increase understanding and help to support those living with the serious condition, which can severely restrict a person's ability to carry out normal daily activities3,4, and can lead to heart failure and death. The mortality rate of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the more rare form of PH, can be higher than that of certain forms of cancer including breast and colorectal cancers.
