Overview / Abstract: |
This is part 1 of a 2-part activity. Outcomes for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have improved over the last decade, but mortality remains unacceptably high, particularly among patients with more severe disease. Many patients with PAH continue to experience debilitating symptoms despite medical treatment. In this activity, Dr. Ioana Preston presents expert insights on the latest ways to improve the diagnosis and management of PAH. The activity also explores current and emerging PAH therapies, including those that target pulmonary vascular remodeling, the underlying cause of PAH. This activity consists of text that can be read at your own pace interspersed with short videos of Dr. Preston highlighting take-home points. |
