Pulmonary Hypertension

As per available reports about 105 journals, 38 Conferences, 68 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to pulmonary hypertension and about 1,510,000 articles are being published on the current trends in pulmonary hypertension. In terms of research annually, United States, Canada, Australia, India, Japan and China are some of the leading countries where maximum research related to pulmonary hypertension is being carried out. Pulmonary Hypertension is the disease condition in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary blood vessels increases such as in pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins or pulmonary capillaries. It generally involves the constriction or tightening of the blood vessels, which makes the pumping of blood by heart difficult. This in severe cases may lead to heart failure. The treatment of pulmonary hypertension involves the use of vasoactive agents or catheters. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, non-productive cough, angina pectoris, fainting or syncope, peripheral edema (swelling around the ankles and feet), and rarely coughing up blood. A 1973 meeting organized by the World Health Organization was the first to attempt classification of pulmonary hypertension.

The Journal of Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicine is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in pulmonary hypertension. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicine provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of pulmonary hypertension, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS Group is a pioneer and leading scientific event organizer, and has been involved in organizing hundreds of scientific conferences each year on the most important and challenging topics. Since its inception, OMICS Group has focused on meeting the needs of the scientific community, through strong tie-up with business and industry, while at the same time accomplishing international benchmarks and accreditation standards. OMICS Group's Scientific Conferences put forward a colloquium of researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and authors & editors of OMICS Group Open Access Journals focusing on specific research discipline, contributing an efficient and impactful platform where research amalgamates with technology. OMICS Group Conferences involves the nationwide participation around the globe through major continents such as America, Asia, and Europe.
