In my opinion you need to start treatment early before right ventricular hypertrophy occur
Low salt and low liquids
Early drug treatment to prevent complications
Many possible drugs can be used like nitric oxide , prostanoid(do not recommed this one) or remodulin
U should consult your doctor in which drugs will be used
Also a shunt can be done to reduce pressure (very good i would go with it if your doctor suggests it )
Good Luck
hi
the reports are not much alarming and things appear to be under control.
give him the prescribed medicines to prevent from further complications.

HI
REPORTS DO SUGGEST PAH. HE SHOULD TAKE THE MEDICINES REGULARLY.
A 3 MONTHLY FOLLOW UP WITH CARDIOLOGIST IS RECOMMENDED TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE.
hello there
at present the prescribed medicines shoul be taken regularly. there are chances of partial cardiac failure if PAH worsens.
Percutaneous catheterisation techniques are available and you should check it out with your cardiologist.
