Video content above is prompted by the following questions:
- What are the direct medical costs and indirect socioeconomic costs associated with managing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), including hospitalizations, outpatient care, and impacts on patient productivity and quality of life?
- How does the overall burden of PAH, in terms of clinical outcomes and resource utilization, vary across different patient populations and health care settings? Are there any disparities that clinicians and payers should be more aware of?
PAH Therapies Improve Outcomes in PH-ILD
March 26th 2025Pulmonary hypertension is a common consequence of interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), with the highest rate seen among individuals who have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Overall, most cases of PH in the setting of ILD are mild.
