Abstract

Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease of unknown etiology, which is diagnosed in cases when examination of the patient with high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery does not allow determining its causes. The authors of this article analyze the literature data about primary pulmonary hypertension and report two cases from practice of this pathology. In one case of autopsy of 32-year-old woman primary pulmonary hypertension has been established during the investigation of autopsy material and in another case of autopsy of 52-year-old man this disease has been diagnosed during life. The description of the current state of the problem of primary pulmonary hypertension will be interesting to doctors of any specialization and will also allow to improve of physicians knowledge about this pathology.
