Returning for a second study this month, the JHLT Digital Media Editors conduct an internal discussion on the paper, “Safety and efficacy of riociguat in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and cardiometabolic comorbidities: Data from interventional clinical trials.”

 

The episode explores:

• The aging PAH population and the new comorbidities that must be considered in research
• How the study augments and expands on recent standards, like the 2022 ESC/ERS guidelines for pulmonary hypertension
• Limitations on the study and opportunities for future research

Those on lung transplant teams should check the previous episode for a study on how rewarming ischemia time affects lung transplant outcomes.
