When you have pulmonary hypertension, breathing may be difficult, and your heart may weaken because it works extra hard. While there’s usually no cure, many treatments can help you manage your symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and live longer.
At Emory Healthcare, we care for people with all types of pulmonary hypertension—from mild cases to the most complex. Our team offers a full range of treatments, including medications, surgery, and advanced procedures. For those with more serious or advanced disease, the Emory Comprehensive Lung Center specializes in complex lung conditions and provides the highest level of care, including lung transplantation when needed.
We also participate in research and clinical trials, giving our patients access to the latest therapies and new hope for the future.
