5 Causes of Pulmonary Hypertension
Genetics
Pulmonary hypertension can be genetic. This means people with a family history tend to be at a higher risk of developing the condition. However, this cause is quite rare. Scientists have found some genes in the pulmonary arteries that would be passed down from parents to children. Therefore, it is important to have regular health checks to detect the condition early if your sibling, parents, or other relatives are dealing with this pulmonary hypertension. [8]
