Living with PH

Newly Diagnosed

Being diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension can be an overwhelming and emotional experience.

It’s important to remember you are not alone.

There is an amazing, compassionate community standing behind you. This community is here to provide you with information and support as you begin your journey with PH.

Although there is currently no cure for PH (with the exception of CTEPH, which may be cured through surgery), there are numerous treatments available to help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. We know patients on treatment who have been living with PH for twenty years and counting. Remember: there is hope.

Find a PH Centre

PH is a relatively rare disease and most physicians have little or no experience with its diagnosis and treatment. For this reason, referral to a centre specialized in the treatment of PH is encouraged in order to confirm diagnosis and ensure that patients receive the best care.
