Manage episode 410024937 series 1547852
In this episode, Dr. Sandeep Sahay, a pulmonologist at Houston Methodist Hospital, discusses the concept of disease modification in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH). He explains how traditional PH therapies focus on vasodilation, reducing pressure in the pulmonary artery by dilating blood vessels. However, newer therapies, such as sotatercept, work in different ways to reduce smooth muscle proliferation and thickness of the artery walls. Dr. Sahay suggests that if a drug is labeled as disease-modifying, it may be used in combination with existing PH medications from the beginning of treatment. However, he notes that further research, regulatory approval, and payer considerations are necessary for this to happen. @MethodistHosp @SandeepSahayMD
