Program Description

The mission of Advances in Pulmonary Hypertension is to serve as the premiere forum for state of the art information regarding diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of pulmonary hypertension. The 2003 Venice revision of the World Health Organization Classification serves as a guide to categories of pulmonary hypertension addressed by the Journal. While focusing on WHO Group I PAH, the other categories (Group II, Left heart disease; Group III, Associated with lung disease and/or hypoxemia; Group IV, Thrombotic and/or Embolic Disease; Group V, Miscellaneous) are also addressed. This mission is achieved by a combination of invited review articles, Roundtable discussions with panels consisting of international experts in PH, and original contributions. In addition, a special section in selected issues entitled “Profiles in Pulmonary Hypertension” recognizes major contributors to the field and serves as an inspiring reminder of the rich and collegial history of dedication to advancing the field.

Objectives

  • Provide up-to-date information regarding diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
  • Serve as a forum for presentation and discussion of important issues in the field, including new paradigms of disease understanding and investigational trial design.
  • Recognize and preserve the rich history of individuals who have made major contributions to the field via dedication to patient care, innovative research, and furthering the mission of the PH community to cure pulmonary hypertension.
