UPMC Comprehensive Pulmonary Hypertension Program

For people with pulmonary hypertension — or PH — there is hope. Just 20 years ago, there weren’t many treatment options.

But today, UPMC offers a full range of therapies for PH and other diseases of the lungs. And we're always looking to develop new treatments for PH through collaboration and research.
