[Progress in health-related quality of life in patients with pulmonary hypertension].

Pulmonary hypertension is a disease that impairs cardiopulmonary function and is characterised by the limitation of progressive physical activity and decline in health-related quality of life. Patients usually present with a range of severe symptoms, including dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain and oedema, which affect their quality of life. Compared to the general population, patients usually have a lower health-related quality of life, with differences in several aspects such as physical functioning, mental health, social interactions and career. The aim of this review is to examine recent research advances in health-related quality of life in patients with pulmonary hypertension, including its influencing factors and improvement measures, in order to improve the understanding and management of this condition.
