【 摘 要 】

Although pulmonary hypertension is not a uniquely female problem, women living with pulmonary hypertension often have female-specific concerns; such as, whether they should get pregnant; what types of contraception are safe and effective in PH; and whether routine health-maintenance care and exams are necessary. Separately, the increased incidence and prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in women vs men has led to considerable discussion over the years as to the role for sex hormones in the pulmonary vasculature and in the development of pulmonary hypertension.
