Course Overview

Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive and potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressures that can ultimately lead to right ventricular dysfunction and right heart failure. Advances in diagnostic techniques, targeted pharmacologic therapies, catheter-based interventions, and multidisciplinary management have significantly improved outcomes for many patients; however, timely diagnosis and optimal treatment remain major challenges.

The AdventHealth Pulmonary Hypertension Symposium 2024 provides a practical and evidence-based review of contemporary PH management, emphasizing collaboration between cardiology and pulmonary specialists. Participants will learn how to recognize early disease, perform comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, apply current guideline-directed therapies, and manage complex patients with advanced pulmonary vascular disease.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Apply current diagnostic algorithms for pulmonary hypertension.
• Interpret echocardiographic findings and hemodynamic data in PH patients.
• Utilize right heart catheterization for diagnosis and risk stratification.
• Evaluate contemporary medical therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
• Discuss advanced interventions and surgical treatment options.
• Recognize and manage right ventricular dysfunction and right heart failure.
• Implement multidisciplinary care models for pulmonary hypertension patients.
• Analyze emerging technologies, remote monitoring, and precision medicine applications in PH management.
