Course Overview
The overall goal of the 16th Annual North Carolina Research Triangle Pulmonary Hypertension Symposium is to provide education for physicians and other allied health professionals involved in diagnosing and treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), keeping them abreast of the ever-changing diagnostic and treatment paradigms, as well as timing of referral for more advanced care to pulmonary hypertension centers for healthcare providers at the front lines of screening for and diagnosing PAH. It will also address consideration of advanced mechanical circulatory support and/or lung transplant when therapies are inadequate. Our local and invited keynote faculty will incorporate several case-based discussions during the symposium.
