Program Description

This enduring educational activity provides a comprehensive update on late stage agents being researched for the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Led by expert faculty, the program shifts the clinical focus from traditional vasodilators to novel investigational therapies that directly target the underlying cellular pathways responsible for pulmonary vascular remodeling and disease progression. Clinicians will gain critical insights into the mechanisms of action, latest clinical trial data, and real-world practice implications of these emerging therapeutic classes to better address unmet needs in contemporary care.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Discuss clinical trial data and potential clinical utility of emerging agents in PAH.
