Pulmonary heart disease
Pulmonary heart disease: Introduction
Heart disease resulting from a lung (pulmonary) disorder. A complication of lung disorders where the blood flow into the lungs is slowed or blocked causing increased lung pressure. The right side of the heart has to pump harder to push against the increased pressure and this can lead to enlargement of the heart muscle and other problems. Ultimately, congestive heart failure of the right side of the heart can result. Other chronic lung conditions that can cause pulmonary heart disease are pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis and advanced emphysema.
