The Pulmonary Hypertension Master Academy will be focused on the challenges of treating patients with PH. Content is designed to cover patients who may have pulmonary arterial disease, PH in the context of heart failure or advanced lung disease and with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease. Topics will include the following:

• Challenges of the management of advanced PAH including idiopathic PAH with acute severe deterioration and RV failure and PAH with suboptimal control on double combination therapy.
• The challenges in PH due to left heart disease including PH due to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and PH due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
• PH due to advanced lung disease including PH due to combined emphysema and Pulmonary Fibrosis and PH in the context of idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia.
• Management of patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease (CTEPD): 1) How to treat patients with mainly proximal/mid subsegmental distribution of the chronic clots; 2) And with discordant diagnostic results between imaging of the chronic clots and haemodynamic variables.
