• 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.
