Date & Location

Target Audience
Specialties - Pulmonology
Professions - Non-Physician, Nurse, PA, Physician, Respiratory Therapist, Student

Overview
Despite therapeutic advances, the prognosis of pulmonary hypertension remains poor which likely reflects in part delayed detection of the disease and scarcity of disease modifying therapies currently available. The former is important especially amongst health care providers given the myriad of conditions that can result in pulmonary hypertension, including chronic liver disease, left heart disease, and connective tissue disease. Early recognition of pulmonary hypertension and recognizing the indication & limitations of current pulmonary artery hypertension-specific therapies are important to allow for prompt and appropriate treatment strategies. Knowledge on the peri-operative, acute, and chronic management strategies of patients with pulmonary hypertension are important for health care providers to understand the complexity of managing patients with pulmonary hypertension.


Objectives
  1. Explore current available diagnostic and management approaches in patients with PH associated lung disease and left heart disease.
  2. Discuss the different management approach for patients with chronic pulmonary embolism.
  3. Describe the differential affects on sex in patients with PH.
