Effective Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Primary Care’s Primary Role Podcast

Featuring Stacy A. Mandras, MD, FACC as faculty, moderated by Gregg Sherman, MD.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and life-threatening condition characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance which can lead to right heart failure and premature death. As first-line healthcare providers, primary care clinicians play a key role in the early recognition of PAH, and referral of patients to specialists to confirm the diagnosis. Thereafter, primary care providers (PCPs) also play a crucial role in the ongoing monitoring and management of PAH patients. However, in practice, early recognition and management of PAH is challenging as PAH does not become clinically manifest until pulmonary vascular disease is advanced. This activity will focus on PAH diagnostic tools, monitoring, and management strategies to optimize care and patient outcomes.
