PAtHways to Improved Care in PAH
Both the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be complex. Diagnosis may be complicated by its nonspecific symptoms and complex differential diagnosis, whereas treatment selection may be challenging due to the number of therapies, combinations of different therapies, and recent updates to treatment guidelines and algorithms. Immerse yourself in this PAH curriculum that features vlogs, a clinical commentary, and a Q&A end-of-year touchpoint activity on Hot Topics in PAH with expert faculty from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, the University of Michigan, and the University of Utah. Upon completion of these activities, clinicians will be better able to apply appropriate screening and diagnostic methods, treatment algorithms, and risk assessment tools to enhance their recognition and management of PAH.
Featured topic areas include:
• Screening and diagnosis
• Risk assessment and stratification
• Treatment selection according to risk assessment
• Considerations for oral combination therapy
• Emerging therapies for PAH
• Management of PAH patients during COVID-19
