Pulmonary Hypertension | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors and endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) are the most commonly prescribed first-line treatments; the more-efficacious prostacyclin therapies are used in later lines. Branded therapies dominate the PAH treatment algorithm, and combination therapy is common.
