Left Heart Disease
A disease in the left part of your heart can be one of the most common triggers of pulmonary hypertension. This is the high-pressure area that is responsible for pumping blood to the remaining organs. When a condition occurs, blood cannot be transported properly from the lungs to your left-hand side of the heart. As a result, the remaining sections of the heart have to work much harder to compensate for this loss. This raises overall blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries and causes the condition. [12]
