We’re thrilled to announce the re-launch of the Women’s Health Task Force - now co-chaired by Dr. Jessica Badlam, University of Vermont Medical Center, andDr. Daria Kostyunina, Imperial College London.
The Women’s Health Task Force is a revitalised PVRI initiative committed to advancing care, outcomes, and research for women affected by PVD.

To kick things off, we hosted a dedicated webinar in September 2025, featuring expert presentations that explored the intersection of women’s health and PVD.
The webinar included:
Background and PHANTOM trial results - Steve Kawut, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Pregnancy and PAH and/or PHAR data on sex disparities - Jackie DesJardin, UCSF Health
Proposed aims and objectives for the Task Force, incorporating participant input and discussion - Jessica Badlam, University of Vermont Medical Center & Meghan Cirulis, Intermountain Health Intermountain Medical Center

Interested in accessing global data on PH patient experience? Almost 4,000 patients and carers across 85 countries completed Phase 1 of our PH Global Patient Survey (PHGPS). Questions across all PH groups included diagnostic tests & timelines, genetic testing, treatments, financial burdens, hospital visits, research participation, quality of life, telemedicine, patient-reported outcome measures, and self-monitoring with digital technology. The findings have the potential to improve patient care, guide future research and help us address unmet needs.
