Understanding Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare but serious condition characterised by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. In children, it can lead to breathlessness, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting — affecting their ability to play, learn, and grow.
At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we provide a multidisciplinary, child‑centred approach to PH care. Our goal is to slow disease progression, improve quality of life, and ensure your child can participate fully in childhood activities.
Our Pulmonary Hypertension Program Includes:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Advanced imaging (echocardiography, cardiac MRI), right heart catheterisation, and genetic testing.
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Tailored vasodilator therapies (prostacyclin analogues, endothelin receptor antagonists, PDE‑5 inhibitors) with close monitoring.
- Oxygen & Ventilation Support: When needed, to optimise oxygen delivery and reduce right heart strain.
- Nutrition & Growth Support: Specialised dietary guidance to maintain healthy growth and energy levels.
- Family Education & Empowerment: Comprehensive training on medication administration, activity modification, and recognising warning signs.
- Regular Multidisciplinary Follow‑up: Collaboration with cardiology, rheumatology, and genetics teams to address all aspects of PH.
