Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which connect the heart to the lungs.
The increased pressure results from the narrowing and stiffening of these arteries, leading to restricted blood flow. As a result, the right side of the heart must work harder to pump blood through the lungs. Over time, this additional strain can cause right heart failure — a primary cause of death among patients with PAH. If left untreated, PAH can be fatal within a few years of diagnosis.
iNGENū’s team of researchers and clinicians is dedicated to advancing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension research. Through innovative trial designs and a patient-centered approach, we accelerate the development of new treatments that may improve outcomes and quality of life for those affected by this challenging condition.
