While identifying the WHO Group for a patient with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a key factor in developing an effective treatment plan, there can be challenges getting to that diagnosis and knowing when to refer patients with PH to other professionals. PH is a serious, progressive condition, and the care pathways can be very different for patients with Group 1 versus Group 2 PH. Join our experts to make sure you’re doing all you can for your patients.
