New Team Coordinates Care for Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

Hartford Hospital has added the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program for patients with pulmonary hypertension.

The multidisciplinary program team assists primary care physicians, cardiologists, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, and rheumatologists with patients who have this complex condition.

As an existing Heart Failure Center, Hartford Hospital can identify patients who require advanced heart failure therapies, including mechanical circulatory support/ventricular assist devices and transplant.

The Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program team is led by a heart failure cardiologist with imaging expertise and a pulmonologist, both trained in pulmonary hypertension.

With this comprehensive cardiology and pulmonary program, Hartford Hospital is offering care beyond what most other pulmonary hypertension centers offer.
