Reducing Healthcare Disparities for PAH Patients

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Very few studies have assessed the impact of healthcare disparities on PAH, despite the potential adverse impacts. One such study from Talwar et al reported that minority PAH patients may be at risk for worse outcomes due to lack of healthcare access, insurance gaps, and socioeconomic status. Dr. Victor Tapson, Director, Pulmonary Vascular Disease Research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, draws from his own experience of treating PAH patients and shares how increased awareness and education can improve outcomes for all patients.
