“We are so very grateful that we have so many more treatments and people (with PH) are living longer and doing better because of our new treatments and advances in therapy. So we’re having to start to do things we never had to do before. So my patients who have pulmonary hypertension, for example, have come in with a broken hip or appendicitis or breast cancer, or a whole variety of more common things in the background of pulmonary hypertension.”
