Program Overview
Program Description
Among patients with connective tissue disease (CTD), the highest prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) occurs in those with systemic sclerosis and is associated with poorer survival outcomes. Therefore, early identification and appropriate treatment are imperative to help improve survival in patients with CTD-PAH. In this 1-hour webcast, national PAH experts detail screening approaches for earlier identification of CTD-PAH and discuss current recommendations for designing individualized treatment regimens for improved patient outcomes.
