Group 2 PH is linked to left-sided heart disease and is the most common type, accounting for 65–80% of PH cases. Understanding the heart-lung connection is key to proper assessment and care. This November, let’s bring the pieces together. 💛🫁

Group 2 PH can be hard to distinguish from heart failure due to shared symptoms. A review of 54 studies found PH in 47% of people with preserved heart function and 36% with reduced function. Behind every statistic is a person who matters.

Globally, about 62% of people living with PAH are female and 38% are male. But behind every statistic is a story that deserves to be seen and heard. Every story matters. #PHabulousNovember #PHAwarenessMonth #PulmonaryHypertension #YouSabiPH #PHNOBEJOKE

“My piece of hope came from someone I never knew.” 🫁💙 After 7 years living with PAH, Natalia received a life-saving double lung transplant in Vienna. A decade later, she is breathing freely and advocating for patients globally as a board member of @PHAEurope.⤵️

PAH symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, chest pain and dizziness are easy to overlook. A multinational survey found an average 17-month gap between first symptoms and diagnosis. Let’s raise awareness, share stories and make PAH visible! #PHabulousNovember #PHAwarenessMonth

What is Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)? 💙 PH affects the blood vessels between the heart and lungs, making the heart work harder. Awareness, early diagnosis and support matter. Together, let’s put the pieces of hope together. No one should face PH alone. #PulmonaryHypertension
