Overview
Unrecognized/underdiagnosed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) impacts long-term outcomes for patients with interstitial lung disease. Earlier diagnosis and risk assessment lead to more aggressive or escalating treatment based on risk stratification. Healthcare professionals are still new to utilizing the 3, 4, and 6 strata risk modeling, requiring dedicated instruction and implementation across all treatment centers. Tune in to learn how to implement risk assessment in your clinical practice.
