A serious disorder characterized by high blood pressure in
the lungs, pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes patients to
experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness,
fatigue, and chest pain.
While many of the approximately 20 million PH sufferers
worldwide develop it as a result of other conditions, some
people develop it for reasons that are not yet understood.
Duke’s Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic is a highly respected
referral center for physicians and patients around the world,
as well as an acclaimed leader in clinical PH research.
Our first-ever international database helps researchers
identify and share important findings about PH, which will lead
to improvements in diagnosing and treating it.
