Pulmonary Vascular Disease Scholarly Peer-review Journal
Pulmonary vascular sickness (PVD) is an expansive term including any condition that influences the veins inside the lungs. These vessels take blood that is depleted of oxygen to the lungs from the right side of the heart. Deoxygenated blood travels through the pulmonary arteries where oxygen is taken up. The pulmonary veins leave the lungs and take blood rich with oxygen to the left side of the heart where oxygenated blood is distributed throughout the body. This process continually replenishes the blood with oxygen and lets carbon dioxide be exhaled. A pulmonary vascular disorder can lead to
cardiovascular problems as well as impairing the quality of the patient’s life. Our pulmonologists and cardiologists work closely together. This expertise and collaboration help patients manage symptoms and have an improved quality of life. The research on PVD which is conducted at the Brigham provides greater understanding of these diseases and is translated directly into exceptional patient care. The Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program—a cooperative endeavor between the Brigham and Women's Hospital
Lung Center and the Heart and Vascular Center—offers customized care and facilitated the board for a wide range of PVD, including pneumonic blood vessel hypertension, right
cardiovascular breakdown, and interminable thromboembolic aspiratory
hypertension (CTEPH).
