Infusion pump technology for subcutaneous prostacyclin analog therapy has improved, with improved user experiences, simplified priming processes, easier filling, capability for lower doses, and better safety alerts and alarms. This may allow more pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients to safely manage and benefit from subcutaneous prostacyclin analogs. Read the Advances in Therapy commentary

Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) levels were higher in patients with PAH, and SPP1 levels were associated with disease severity. Patients who had postpartum adverse events had higher SPP1 concentrations. SPP1 may act as a predictor of adverse postpartum events for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), along with other clinical indicators.
