Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an uncommon yet severe condition characterized by sustained elevation of blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. The delaying treatment can result in disease progression, right ventricular failure, increased risk of complications, and even death. Early recognition and timely treatment are crucial in halting PH progression, improving cardiac function, and reducing complications.

Moreover, Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) is a recently released swarm intelligent optimization algorithm. Compared with other SI optimization algorithms, the optimization solution strategy of the SSA still needs to be improved to enhance further the solution accuracy and optimization efficiency of the algorithm.
