Therapies and Research

In the past 15-20 years enormous progress has been made in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, one of the five subtypes of pulmonary hypertension, with seven drugs being approved by EU regulatory authorities. The new treatments have led to significant improvements for patients in terms of symptoms, disease progression and survival. Currently there are no approved drugs for the other four classes of pulmonary hypertension. Research on new treatments in currently ongoing and may in the near future lead to new drug approvals.
