Pulmonary Hypertension | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder marked by considerable morbidity and mortality. A wide array of drugs are available to treat PAH. 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.
