ABSTRACT
The current approach for the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) relies on data gathered from clinical trials and large registries. However, there is concern that minorities including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are underrepresented in these trials and registries, making current data not generalizable to these groups of patients. Hence, it is important to discuss the significance of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic factors in patients with PAH. Here, we review the current knowledge on health care disparities in PAH. We also propose future steps in the global task of assuring justice and equality in access to pulmonary hypertension health care.
