Pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, is a serious, progressive condition. Before developing a treatment approach, it’s imperative to make the correct diagnosis and consider patient comorbidities. Identifying which WHO Group patients are in is key, but part of the art of treating PAH is understanding that some patients may have overlap between groups. Developing an effective treatment plan is multifactorial, and treatment selection can involve the objective risk stratification score, cardiac functioning on imaging, and shared decision-making, among other considerations. Don’t miss out on expert insights to help you elevate your practice!
