 This program explores pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, a relatively rare disorder that attacks a patient’s heart and lungs. Today there are specialized PAH centers that educate patients and their families about this condition. These centers offer information on the availability of research studies that might be beneficial and help to connect patients with support groups in their area. While this is an extremely serious disease, effective new treatments have become available, and the program helps patients educate themselves about all of the options. (27 minutes)
