Multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension 
Session moderated by Lekshmi Santhosh

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rapidly evolving condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. This week's Grand Rounds will focus on the latest developments in PH management, beginning with the latest definitions, diagnostic strategies, and the full spectrum of treatment options. We'll learn from our medical, surgical, and interventional specialty colleagues who will highlight the multidisciplinary individualized plans needed for the care of these patients.
