  • New and Emerging PAH Therapies and Approaches: A Mixture of Hope and Complexity
    Guest: Vallerie V. McLaughlin, MD
    Guest: Ioana Preston, MD
    Guest: Kelly Chin, MD, MSCA

    Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious, progressive condition that involves making the correct diagnosis and identifying patient comorbidities as important first steps to creating a successful treatment approach. And while identifying which WHO Group a patient belongs to is key, part of the art of treating PAH is recognizing that many patients can have overlap between groups. Our experts’ insights can help you elevate your practice and develop effective PAH treatment plans.

  • Pulmonary Hypertension: Getting the Right Diagnosis and Knowing When to Refer
    Guest: Vallerie V. McLaughlin, MD
    Guest: Marsha Burks, BSN, RN
    Guest: Rajan Saggar, MD

    Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious, progressive condition and the care pathways for patients who are living with Group 1 versus Group 2 PH can be very different. Join our experts as they discuss key elements for identifying which WHO Group your patient may fall into and review key factors for developing an effective treatment plan and knowing when to refer patients to other professionals that are part of the PH care team.

  • PH Management in Unique Patients and Conditions
    Guest: Martha Kingman, DNP, FNP-C
    Guest: Ioana Preston, MD
    Guest: Jean M. Elwing, MD

    Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious, progressive condition and successfully managing patients can present certain challenges. Treatment selection is multifactorial and often involves the consideration of myriad patient factors, including WHO Group, objective risk stratification score, cardiac functioning on imaging, and shared decision-making. And while all patients who are living with PAH require careful evaluation, those with comorbidities and/or psychosocial challenges can require additional consideration when developing a treatment plan that improves outcomes.

  • Expert Perspectives on Nonsteroidal MRAs and Cardiorenal Protection
    Guest: Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH
    Guest: Anuradha Lala-Trindade, MD
    Guest: Brendon Neuen, MBBS, PhD

    Heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represent a significant and growing burden for patients and the healthcare system, not only in cardiovascular medicine, but also in the context of cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Trials are underway evaluating new therapies that may offer benefits to patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF and may also have broader, multisystem effects. Tune in to stay up to date!

  • Integrating IV Iron into Cancer Care: An Expert Overview of Best Practices
    Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP
    Guest: George M. Rodgers, MD, PhD
    Guest: Patricia A. Ford, MD

    Designed as a dynamic, intensive, and innovative web-based activity, this session will take learners on an in-depth exploration of cancer-related anemia (CRA) and chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) as disease states of vast clinical significance, emphasizing the robust prevalence, pathophysiology, and patient burden of CRA/CIA, as well as the prominent role of iron deficiency (ID) in their pathogenesis. Built upon on this foundation, expert faculty will guide attendees through a succinct but comprehensive review of the IV iron evidentiary base in CRA/CIA, including clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and the latest expert consensus guideline recommendations from the NCCN, ASCO/ASH, and ESMO. Practical clinical pearls for safely and effectively implementing IV iron into the real-world hematology/oncology clinic will be emphasized.
