Committed to helping you navigate life with PAH

The PAH Initiative is dedicated to advancing patient care in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

This initiative reflects United Therapeutics’ commitment to providing knowledge and inspiration based on science and research in PAH today. Here, you will open a doorway that helps you better understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you and your healthcare provider can do about it.

Our hope is that you find the support and treatment you need–when you need it–so you and your healthcare provider can make informed decisions that help you throughout your PAH journey.

“I want the best life I can possibly live. Not, you know, muddle through every single day but feel as good as I can feel by helping myself as much as possible.”

What’s happening in your heart and lungs when you have PAH?

When you have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the blood vessels in your lungs become narrower. This causes your heart to work harder to pump blood to your lungs.

What Is PAH?
