There are various causes for PH - mainly heart diseases, chronic lung diseases, chronic pulmonary embolism, connective tissue diseases, interstitial lung diseases like acidosis.

As supportive measures anticoagulants, digoxin, diuretics, supplemental oxygen are prescribed in necessary cases.  A low sodium low fluid diet is recommended in patients with volume overload.

As far as the prognosis is concerned, although IPA His a generally progressive and fatal disease, its prognosis is highly variable. Many patients characteristics correlate with prognosis including functional class, rapidity of onset and exercise capacity.
