In most PH patients, PH
gets worse if left untreated. In some PH patients,
PH may remain stable over many months or years.
Whether PH gets worse in an individual patient
depends on many factors. These include:
- The
cause of PH
- The severity of PH
- The age of a patient
- The general health of
a patient
- The presence of other conditions
of the heart, lungs, or body
- What PH treatment
is available to a patient
- How a patient responds
to PH treatment
