Abstract：
:PAH is a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy, regardless of chosen treatment options. Nurses and other providers must allow for open, honest discussion on the risks and benefits of each therapy. Determining the best treatment option for patients requires consideration of the patient's overall function and social support. These patients benefit from comprehensive and collaborative support from facilities or centers trained in the management of the disease.
