Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of PAH over the last two decades\, the prognosis is still poor. Early recognition of disease\, institution of effective PAH disease-specific therapy optimized for disease severity\, and comprehensive care in specialized centers hold the promise of improving the outcome of patients. PAH is often misdiagnosed or unrecognized in clinical practice and delaying treatment options can worsen outcomes and survival. Diagnostic tests are needed to be done on anyone with unexplained dyspnea and suspected PAH. This lecture is designed for primary care providers and other non-specialists\, using case-based\, interactive discussion on tools to improve diagnosis of PAH and the importance of early referral. \n Upon registration\, the attendees will receive the login details\, and the post lecture evaluation will be emailed at the conclusion of the webcast.  Attendees will receive AMA/ANCC/ACPE credit with completion of the evaluation. \n  URL:https://amwa-doc.org/event/pah-webcast/ CATEGORIES:Everyone END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231111 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231129 DTSTAMP:20260311T224759Z CREATED:20251030T012625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T224759Z UID:15564-1699660800-1701215999@amwa-doc.org SUMMARY:On-Demand Screening: Wine\, Women\, and Dementia DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Federation of Medical Women of Canada\, AMWA Presents: \n\nFilm Screening & Discussion:\n\nDon’t miss this poignant\, hilarious\, and honest portrayal of caregiving and dementia.\nClick here to view trailer.\nOn-Demand Viewing: November 11-28th\nLive Discussion with Filmmaker Kitty Norton: Tuesday 28th November at 8pm ET\nREGISTER         LEARN MORE\nSummary: Wine\, Women\, & Dementia provides a poignant and intimate look into the human side of dementia.
