Advanced Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH) Care by Dr. Frank Mohan – Pulmonologist & Critical Care Specialist

Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH) is a serious condition characterized by increased blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs. This leads to narrowing and stiffness of the pulmonary arteries, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through the lungs. Over time, PAH can strain the heart and reduce oxygen supply to the body. Common symptoms include breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, and dizziness, which may worsen with activity. Early diagnosis and specialized medical care are essential to manage the condition and prevent complications. Dr. Frank Mohan, an experienced pulmonologist and critical care specialist, provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced care for effective PAH management.

PAH management focuses on improving blood flow, reducing pressure in the pulmonary arteries, and enhancing quality of life through personalized treatment plans. Under the expert care of Dr. Frank Mohan, patients receive advanced therapies including medications, lifestyle guidance, and continuous monitoring to prevent disease progression. With timely intervention and specialized care, patients can experience improved symptoms and better long-term outcomes.

Common Symptoms of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension
