Simply Speaking PAH includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading PAH expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Simply Speaking PAH Planning Committee.

PAH is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance due to remodeling and occlusion of the pulmonary arterioles, resulting in right heart failure and death within 2-3 years of diagnosis if untreated. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of PAH over the last two decades, the prognosis is still poor. Early recognition of disease, institution of effective PAH disease-specific therapy optimized for disease severity, and comprehensive care in specialized centers hold the promise of improving the outcome of patients. PAH is often misdiagnosed or unrecognized in clinical practice and delaying treatment options can worsen outcomes and survival. Diagnostic tests are needed to be done on anyone with unexplained dyspnea and suspected PAH. This slide kit is designed for primary care providers and other non-specialists, using case-based, interactive discussion on tools to improve diagnosis of PAH and the importance of early referral.

Activity Summary:
PH is currently divided into World Health Organization (WHO) groups based on the perceived etiology of the vascular insult: PAH (Group 1), PH due to left heart disease (Group 2), PH due to lung disease and/or hypoxia (Group 3), PH due to pulmonary artery obstructions (Group 4), and PH due to unclear and/or multifactorial mechanisms (Group 5). Accordingly, therapeutic interventions to address PH differ significantly between groups. However, this classification is less than perfect as there is not only considerable heterogeneity within each group but also overlap between groups. Emerging evidence on phenotyping PH may assist to address these limitations. This slide set presents the latest research in diagnosing and managing Group 2-5 in patients, including a discussion of the distinctions in specific groups – CTEPH, PH-ILD, PH-COPD.

Activity Summary:
Clinical Viewpoints MF includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data in myelofibrosis. Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading MF expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Clinical Viewpoints MF Planning Committee.

Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid cells, bone marrow fibrosis and cytopenias, extramedullary hematopoiesis and hepatosplenomegaly, increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and systemic symptoms. Patients with MF also have a propensity toward leukemic transformation. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHCT) is the only curative therapy for patients with MF; however, transplant-related morbidity and mortality precludes this option for the majority of patients. In the last decade, four targeted therapies have been approved for the treatment of MF, all JAK2 inhibitors, ruxolitinib, fedratinib, pacritinib, and momelotinib. Moreover, there are a number of novel therapeutic targets with drug candidates in late-stage (phase II or III) clinical development for the treatment of MF. This case-based slide kit discusses the pathophysiology, burden diagnosis, current and future treatment strategies, risk stratification, adverse events associated with therapies as well as the importance of patient-centered care.

Clinical Viewpoints PH-ILD includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data in pulmonary hypertension due to interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Slides are developed and updated throughout the year by leading pulmonology expert physicians. All content is reviewed and approved by the Clinical Viewpoints PH-ILD Planning Committee.

The incidence of PH is known to increase among patients with ILD over the course of disease, however, there is a significant overlap of symptoms between fibrotic lung disease and PH. This is known to result in delayed detection and diagnosis. Clinicians need education on the signs and symptoms and how to screen for and detect PH early among patients with ILD. Although right heart catheterization is required to confirm the diagnosis of PH-ILD, other non-invasive and invasive approaches are useful in enabling an early and accurate diagnosis. Additionally, while there have been new insights into assessing and predicting the severity of PH among patients with ILD, mild PH among patients with ILD has been associated with poor outcomes. Identifying patients that have mild PH is therefore pivotal to improving outcomes with treatment. The development and approval of inhaled treprostinil has been an important milestone in PH-ILD. Indeed, new evidence and updates from ongoing clinical trials continue to be presented and published for the treatment of PH-ILD. To improve confidence among practitioners regarding the use of inhaled treprostinil, it is critical that they are abreast with the latest evidence and expert insights. In this on-demand video presentation Dr. Aaron Waxman will walk through examples of using and optimizing inhaled treprostinil therapy in clinical cases.
