The past decade ushered in significant advances in both the understanding of the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and the treatment approach of this progressive disease. New discoveries in the biology of pulmonary vascular disease will be presented, including complex cases of patients with pulmonary hypertension and left-sided heart disease. Other topics include the management of chronic thromboembolism and current concepts in both maintenance and rescue therapies.

Supported by an independent educational program from Gilead Sciences, Inc.
