About the disease and the work of the Association

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PH) is included within the group of diseases labeled rare. Pulmonary hypertension is the simple name given to a complex health problem. PH is defined by the excessive increase in pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs, an abnormal increase. Symptoms are vague (chest pain, lack of aire, fatigue...) and worsen with the progress of the disease until producing syncope and severe dyspnea on exertion. Diagnosis is therefore very important.

The National Association of Pulmonary Hypertension (ANHP) focuses on offering support, guidance and psychological help to patients and their families. In addition to the dissemination of the disease to favor an early diagnosis that can extend the life of patients by several years. The symptoms of PH are often confused with those of other diseases, hence the “phantom disease”.
