Pulmonary hypertension program and clinic

Our program consists of an outpatient clinic and dedicated inpatient team with 24/7 on-call service. In the clinic, we closely collaborate with our subspecialty colleagues from Lung Transplant, Rheumatology, General Pulmonology and Interstitial lung disease program, Post Pulmonary Embolism program, and Cardiology. We offer treatment options that range from oral medications to continuous infusions to lung transplantation. We have specially trained hospital medical staff to manage our inpatients who are on continuous infusion therapy. As a large tertiary care center, we accept and manage high-risk patients. This includes high-risk obstetrics patients, critically ill patients in right heart failure, and patients needing a bridge to transplantation.

• Right heart catheterization
• Echocardiography
• Chest radiology
• Pulmonary function testing
• Cardiac MRI
• Ventilation/perfusion scan
• Non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing

• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
• Heart and Lung Transplantation
• Placement of atrial flow regulators for those with refractory disease either as a bridge to transplant or as a palliative option

We actively participate in clinical research trials to be involved in the newest therapies available for patients.

We are committed to improving the survival and quality of life of pulmonary hypertension patients by providing the highest quality of evidenced-based care.
