PPH - A General Description

PPH is a disease whereby the blood vessels inside the lungs grow progressively narrower, which results in high blood pressure. This high blood pressure can ultimately lead to heart failure, as is the case with any blood pressure that's too high, and another name for high blood pressure is hypertension.

PPH - Prevalence

PPH is a rare disease in the statistical sense, in that there are between one and two cases of PPH per million residents of the United States, which results in 300 new cases per year. However, statistical studies have shown PPH to be somewhat more prevalent, as more than 160,000 hospital discharges in 2000 contained a diagnosis of PPH, and more than 3,000 people every year die from this condition.
