Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare disease caused by many factors, such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The pulmonary artery is a blood vessel that carries blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. This disease is considered a rare but life-threatening disease and will get worse over time. The arteries that are narrowed and blocked due to high blood pressure are called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Thus, making it difficult for blood to pump through these arteries, subsequently causing the heart muscle to weaken.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness, and tightness in the chest. The exact cause of PAH is unknown, and although it can be treated, there is no known cure. Over time, the condition will get worse, but medications and oxygen therapy can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. PAH usually affects women between the ages of 30 and 60.
Market Dynamics
The increase in causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) such as stroke is expected to drive the growth of global pulmonary arterial hypertension drug market over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics 2019 published by the American College of Cardiology Foundation, a report from the American Heart Association, there are about 795,000 residents in the U.S. who have a new or recurrent stroke each year, in which 90.0% of stroke risk is due to modifiable risk factors and 74.0% is due to behavioral risk factors.
