Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs and the right side of the heart. The Pulmonary Hypertension Program at Riley at IU Health is the first and only program in Indiana that provides expert care for children with pulmonary hypertension as a primary diagnosis or as a result of heart or lung disease.

This chronic condition narrows and stiffens the artery walls of the lungs, which makes the right side of the heart work harder. The extra stress enlarges the heart, making it less flexible and decreasing its ability to pump blood to the rest of the body.

In the Pulmonary Hypertension Program at Riley at IU Health, your child will receive advanced diagnosis and treatment from a multidisciplinary team that includes specialists in pediatric pulmonology and pediatric cardiology. Our dedicated nurse coordinator will meet and interview your family at your first appointment, help with scheduling, provide educational materials and coordinate care if your child is in the hospital.

After a thorough evaluation, we will work with your child’s primary care doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan and follow-up program that meet your child’s specific needs. Depending on your child’s condition, cardiovascular surgery may also be necessary to repair congenital heart conditions.

Although there is no cure for pulmonary hypertension, our team can manage your child’s condition through adolescence and early adulthood using oral, inhaled, intravenous or subcutaneous medicines. We also help with the transition from pediatric care to adult care with providers at Indiana University Health who specialize in adult pulmonary hypertension.
