Children with PH still face major barriers to accessing approved treatments. At PVRI 2026 Dublin, Megan Griffiths and Sidra Hoffman shared why better paediatric clinical trials are key to changing that. From paediatric-specific endpoints to regulatory flexibility, their interviews explore what it will take to improve access to therapies for young patients. 🎥 Watch the full interview: youtu.be/wYwYl-T4_dc

New PHGPS publications 📢 Nearly 4,000 patients and carers from 90 countries contributed to the PH Global Patient Survey (PHGPS), creating one of the most comprehensive global datasets on the lived experience of PH. Together with our Workstreams and Task Forces, we have now published three new peer-reviewed papers in Pulmonary Circulation: ▪️The PHGPS: Physical & Psychosocial Impacts on Health-Related QoL ▪️The PHGPS: Understanding the Invisible Burden of Paediatric PH ▪️The PHGPS: Groups 2 and 3 Together, these papers highlight the invisible impact of PH. The daily physical, emotional, and practical challenges experienced by patients and families are not always reflected in clinical tests. ➡️ Explore the papers: pvrinstitute.org/phgps #PHGPS #TheInvisibleImpactofPH

❓️ Did you know? 83%* of women of childbearing age who are living with pulmonary hypertension (PH) worry about pregnancy, with the majority being told not to get pregnant due to the risk to their health. "I was told years ago that pregnancy was absolutely discouraged by several doctors." 💬 These insights come from one of the latest PHGPS papers, The Pulmonary Hypertension Global Patient Survey: Physical and Psychosocial Impacts on Health-Related Quality of Life. The data highlights the complex challenges many women with PH still face. ➡️ Read the full paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pu… #IWD #InternationalWomensDay *Of 793 female respondents of child-bearing age, 53.6% (n = 425) worry about pregnancy at least “sometimes” and 29.1% (n = 231) worry “very often”
