-'''Pulmonary hypertension''' (PH) is an increase in blood pressure in the [[pulmonary artery]] or [[lung]] [[Pulmonary circulation|vasculature]], leading to [[dypsnea|shortness of breath]], [[dizziness]], [[fainting]], and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Depending on the cause, pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and right-sided [[heart failure]]. It was first identified by Dr Ernst von Romberg in 1891.<ref>Romberg E von. Über Sklerose der Lungenarterie. ''Dtsch Arch Klin Med'' 1891-1892;48:197-206.</ref> It can be one of five different types, ''arterial, venous, hypoxic, thromboembolic,'' or ''miscellaneous''.
-Although the terms primary pulmonary hypertension (meaning of unknown cause) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (meaning due to another medical condition) still persist in materials disseminated to patients and the general public, these terms have largely been abandoned in the medical literature. This change has occurred because the older dichotomous classification did not reflect pathophysiology or outcome.  It led to erroneous therapeutic decisions, i.e. treat "primary" pulmonary hypertension only. This in turn led to therapeutic nihilism for many patients labeled "secondary" pulmonary hypertension, and could have contributed to their deaths.  The term "primary pulmonary hypertension" has now been replaced with "idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension".  The terms "primary" and "secondary" pulmonary hypertension should not be used any longer.  Further details are in the [[Pulmonary hypertension#Classification|Classification section]] below.
