Other specified pulmonary heart diseases - what does this mean
Other specified pulmonary heart diseases occur when the heart and lungs are unable to work together efficiently. this can be due to a variety of factors, including chronic lung diseases, high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, obstruction of the pulmonary arteries, and structural abnormalities of the heart. these conditions can lead to an increased workload on the heart, leading to an increased risk of heart failure.
What happens during the disease - other specified pulmonary heart diseases
Other specified pulmonary heart diseases are characterized by abnormal enlargement of the right ventricle of the heart. this enlargement is caused by increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which is the result of increased resistance in the pulmonary circulation due to narrowing of the pulmonary arteries and/or increased pulmonary blood flow. this can result in right ventricular hypertrophy, decreased cardiac output, and eventually heart failure.
