SummaryIt occurs when the blood pressure abnormally raises in the arteries that take the blood from the heart to the lungs.
This pressure is not the same one that is measured in the medical doctor's office.
When the cause of this illness is pulmonary emphysema or an heart illness since birth, for example, we call this secondary pulmonary hypertension.

SummaryThe heart casts a homogeneous shadow on the chest film. No internal detail can be seen within its contours because the radiodensities of blood, myocardium, and other cardiac tissues are so similar that one cannot be distinguished from the others. Only two borders of the heart, where it contacts the radiolucent, air-containing lung, can be discerned in any one projection.
