Is it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a different problem? I'm a bit concerned and just trying to understand why this might occur.

Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?

Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
