Pulmonary Hypertension Community Call — March

Pulmonary hypertension is a known complication of scimitar syndrome; however, its risk factors and outcomes are not well understood. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of pulmonary hypertension in patients with scimitar syndrome.

Physical activity (PA) estimated by a wearable sensor may reflect clinical status in pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH). Prior studies used research-grade hip-anchored sensors or commercial wrist sensors with proprietary scoring algorithms. 

The Pulmonary Hypertension Global Patient Survey (PH GPS) provides the first international examination of experiences among children with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and their caregivers. Through an online survey distributed via PH associations across 32 countries, we collected responses from 136 caregivers about diagnostic journeys, treatment experiences, healthcare access and research participation.
