Psychosocial aspects of pulmonary hypertension: a review Wryobeck JM; Lippo G; McLaughlin V; Riba M; Rubenfire MPsychosomatics 2007[Nov]; 48 (6): 467-75Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive and sustained elevation of pulmonary-artery pressure, which ultimately leads to right-ventricular failure and death. The diagnosis carries with it an uncertain and historically very bleak prognosis. Although new oral and chronic parenteral (intravenous and subcutaneous) treatments have had a significant positive medical impact on the physical functioning of individuals with PAH, patients often struggle with new short- and long-term psychosocial challenges. The purpose of the current article is to 1) provide a brief review of PAH and its treatment; 2) summarize the limited literature examining the psychosocial adjustment of those with a PAH diagnosis; and 3) provide pertinent information extrapolated from the larger literature on chronic illness that might inform us on the psychosocial challenges faced by the patient diagnosed with PAH.|Adaptation, Psychological[MESH]|Chronic Disease[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension, Pulmonary/complications/*psychology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Palliative Care/methods/psychology[MESH]|Stress, Psychological/etiology/*psychology/therapy[MESH] |
