Learning and research

The Women's Health Task Force was relaunched to address the intersection of women's health and pulmonary vascular disease. The webinar includes research presentations on sex differences and sex hormone treatments in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Studies show that this disease primarily affects women, but men have worse survival. There has been significant research on the role of sex hormones in this disparity including the phase 3 trial of anastrozole that was presented. The Women's Health Task Force aims to improve knowledge, encourage research, and optimize delivery of clinical care to women with pulmonary vascular disease, with future events planned to foster global collaboration on women's health and pulmonary hypertension.

Part of the 'Hypoxia in pulmonary vascular research – altitude and beyond' webinar series by the High Altitude Task Force, who raise awareness and understanding of PH linked to high altitude and organise scientific conferences in regions affected by high altitudes. 

This patient-focused webinar explored the findings from the Pulmonary Hypertension Global Patient Survey (PHGPS) – with a focus on adult data across Europe.

'Pulmonary Hypertension in the Shadow of Infections: Challenges in Indian Practice' is part of the Virtual Symposium Series by the iPVD, a global education programme that highlights top-notch research on inflammation and infectious PVD.

This dynamic session featured focused presentations on mechanical support strategies for paediatric bridge to lung transplant across the lifespan—from infancy to adolescence—highlighting how each expert’s practice has evolved, and concluding with interactive, case-based discussions.

Presentations: Is there evidence for different phenotypes of PH in ILD? Treatment of pulmonary vascular disease in ILD: as early as possible or only in severe PH?
