Perspectives on PAH

Hear from real people living with PAH

You are not alone! Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare and complex disease, but you can take comfort in knowing you are not the only one who is experiencing it. The PAH Initiative community is here to help with articles and videos featuring caregivers and real people with PAH, who share their perspectives on getting diagnosed, finding a PAH specialist, adjusting their treatment plans, and finding hope and inspiration along the way.
