Addressing Unmet Needs in the PAH Landscape

Cardiac output and stroke volume as measured by impedance cardiography may hold potential to predict clinical deterioration from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

The 18-meter walk test (18MWT) effectively evaluates disease severity and predicts clinical outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), enhancing traditional assessment methods.

Medicaid beneficiaries face higher rates of pulmonary hypertension, with significant economic burdens and racial disparities in prevalence and costs.

For this analysis, outcomes were compared between individuals who had pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and healthy controls by using Fitbit-derived data over 12 weeks and then at a 1-year follow-up.

The findings from this single-center retrospective study compare outcomes between 2 groups of patients living with connective tissue disease–associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH) stratified by their Heart Failure Association–preserved ejection fraction (HFA-PEFF) algorithm score.

Three decades of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study were analyzed for trends in global, regional, and national burdens in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
