Program Description

Step inside a live pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) clinic where patient-clinician encounters unfold in real time. Through dynamic vignettes and expert debriefs, this interactive symposium will bring the challenges of PAH diagnosis and management to life — from recognizing subtle symptoms and interpreting diagnostic findings to assessing risk, optimizing therapy, and addressing treatment tolerability and adherence. Faculty will demonstrate practical clinical decision-making and multidisciplinary collaboration across the patient journey.

Join us for this immersive live clinic and leave with actionable strategies to identify PAH earlier, personalize treatment, reassess risk, and improve patient-centered care. 

This symposium is not supported, endorsed, or accredited by the American College of Chest Physicians.
