From Knee Pain to Gene Discovery: One Family’s Unexpected Diagnosis What started as routine investigations into hereditary knee problems turned into a life-altering discovery for Luke Stockdale and his family — a TBX4 gene mutation linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In this episode, Luke shares how his mother’s journey through years of respiratory care led to a rare diagnosis, and how it’s changed the course of his entire family’s future. With candor and urgency, he discusses the emotional weight of genetic testing, the inconsistencies in clinical care, and his...
info_outlineSPECIAL EDITION: The Pathways To Treatment
The PAH Initiative and United Therapeutics are excited to bring you the PAH Today National Broadcast Series. This series of virtual events is intended for adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and their caregivers.
Advancements in the care and treatment of PAH are improving the lives of those impacted by this life-threatening disease. The National Broadcast Series will include insights and perspectives on today’s approaches to managing PAH from nationally recognized PAH healthcare providers. Join patients and caregivers across the nation to hear current considerations in the care of PAH.
This is the 3rd of 4 PAH Today broadcasts to learn about how medications work to treat PAH and how finding the right combination of medications could help improve your symptoms.
Presented by Dr. Lana Melendres-Groves the Director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Program at the University of New Mexico and Dr. Sean M. Studer Chief of Medicine at NYU-Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. Learn more at: www.pahinitiative.com
