Topics:
The webinar series "Diagnostic and management dilemmas in pulmonary hypertension" highlights current important challenges in the diagnostic work-up and management of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH).
The recent 2022 ERS/ESC PH guidelines highlight a number of theses dilemmas including patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in the presence of respiratory and cardiovascular comorbidities.
Other health issues facing society, such as the obesity pandemic, present unique challenges in characterising PH adequately in relation to technical issues at right heart catheterisation and the presence of associated comorbidities including alveolar hypoventilation. We believe that a webinar series focusing on forms of PH which present diagnostic and management dilemmas will be of significant interest.
Current important challenges in the diagnostic work-up and management of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) will be explored using an interactive case-based approach. Speakers will present background data and illustrative cases which will then be further discussed by the chairs and external expert. Following the webinars, participants will have increased understanding regarding the diagnosis and management of more complex an rarer forms of PH.
Pulmonologists and cardiologists working in the field of pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vascular diseases, but also in the general field of pulmonology and also pulmonologist and cardiologist in training.
