Pulmonary Vascular Disease (PAH & CTEPH)

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life threatening condition commonly encountered in patients with advanced heart and lung disease. Despite significant advances in the field, patients with PH are complex, their management is challenging and poorly understood, and their survival remains poor. The educational goals of this activity are to provide a concise review of clinical knowledge and essential professional skills to facilitate best practice of surgical and medical aspects involved in the care of patients with pulmonary vascular disease and right ventricular dysfunction, including those with advanced heart and lung disease.

While all members are invited to enroll, this course is primarily designed to be of benefit for clinicians and allied professionals who are in the early stages of their careers or who are in training, are part of a new program, or desire an update on the current state of the field.
