DISCLOSURE OF COMMERCIAL SUPPORT

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

While pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is still an incurable, deadly disease, significant progress has been made in recent years to more effectively manage this disease. Clinical guidelines have been updated that advocate practice-changing actions that may result in earlier, more effective intervention to keep patients at low or intermediate risk for many more years than was previously thought possible.

This activity will incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into a case-based learning scenario of PAH, comparing and contrasting AI management and adherence recommendations with those from the updated ESC/ERS guidelines and expert faculty.

Learning Objectives
TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity is designed for cardiologists, pulmonologists, rheumatologists, and other physicians including those in primary care and internal medicine, as well as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers who may be involved in managing care for patients with PAH.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Implement new clinical guideline recommendations for assessing and managing PAH
  • Incorporate recently approved PAH therapies into pharmacologic treatment options for appropriately selected patients
  • Devise a patient-focused approach to meet therapeutic goals and optimize treatment adherence
