Video content above is prompted by the following questions:
- What are the limitations of current pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies that primarily focus on symptom management, and how do they impact patient outcomes?
- How does the high disease burden associated with PAH affect patients' quality of life and functional status?
- What are the barriers to early diagnosis and initiation of treatment for PAH, and how do they contribute to poor outcomes?
Why Right Heart Catheterization Confirming PAH Diagnosis May Be Underperformed
November 20th 2024Professional guidelines say that when pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is diagnosed, right heart catheterization should be performed, but a quarter of the time, it isn’t—so investigators set out to discover why.

Poor Sleep Quality Associated With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
November 14th 2024Most patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) suffered from poor sleep quality, and dyspnea was a significant predictor of sleep quality, independent of disease severity, according to this study.

Refinements to European Strategy Can Improve PAH-CHD Stratification
November 6th 2024When patients were re-classified based on the adjusted thresholds of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and 6-minute walk distance and the inclusion of TAPSE rather than right atria area, classification of patients improved significantly.

PAH Treatment Outcomes Similar Regardless of Diagnosis Time
November 1st 2024The study findings underscore the importance of early initiation of macitentan and tadalafil among patients who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and represent a shift in understanding of prognosis based on diagnosis timing.
