Description

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, incurable disease that causes vasoconstriction of the pulmonary vasculature

Therapy goals include improving hemodynamics as well as alleviating symptoms

Therapies range from injectable to inhaled to oral to parenteral

PAH treatment teams often transition between the various forms of therapies to reach therapy goals but also to improve patient’s quality of life

The use of a supportive, multidisciplinary team approach, including physicians, nurse practitioners (NP), pharmacists, and nurses during these therapy transition phases is beneficial to achieve success and improve patient care
