Question
Can neonatal persistent pulmonary arterial hypertension be controlled?
Answer
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is typically caused by increased pulmonary resistance due to pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis. These are incurable conditions, so the cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension cannot be eradicated, making it incurable. It can only be relieved through medication. The cause may be multifaceted, and congenital pulmonary arterial disease is one of them.
