Looking to the Future: A New Era of PAH Therapy

AMA/ANCC/ACPE Activity

Talking PAH is a webcast series that highlights the very latest clinical data in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Slides are developed and presented by leading PAH expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the planning committee.

Over the past two decades, research has vastly improved the understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While no therapies have been approved to target new mechanisms of action in more than 15 years, multiple phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials of novel therapies are underway. Further, management decisions regarding practical issues must also be addressed. Emerging research in accurate phenotyping of PH may also improve customization of therapies and prognostication as well as to increase the homogeneity of study cohorts in clinical trials. Improvements in the care of PAH patients depends on improving clinician awareness of the latest research into new diagnostic techniques, medications, and monitoring. This on-demand presentation is designed for the multi-disciplinary medical team and addresses the practical challenges of managing patients in the new era of PAH therapy.
