PV , Rux, and Cardiovascular issues

Hi, I am undergoing tests on my heart and have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. The tests are not yet complete so I shall continue on 20 mg Rux and aspirin until they are. My haemotologist thinks it has not been caused by the Rux but maybe PV.I would like to hear from anybody else who has had a similar experience, either on Rux and developed heart issues or who has an MPN and also have heart issues either taking meds or not.

Thank you

as far as I hear PH can be a MPN thing but never heard it being Rux associated, I’ve been on high dose Rux for PV for 7 years
