Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Market Size and Trend Report including Epidemiology, Disease Management, Pipeline Analysis, Competitor Assessment, Unmet Needs, Clinical Trial Strategies and Forecast, 2019-2029
Summary
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare, fatal cardiopulmonary disease with an annual mortality rate of 15%. The disease is a subset (Group 1) within the World Health Organization’s classification of the different types of pulmonary hypertension. PAH is characterized by an abnormal rise in the resting mean pulmonary arterial pressure caused by pulmonary arterial obstruction due to endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling, and leads to increased resistance in the arterial blood vessels. Since PAH is a progressive disorder, the pulmonary pressure keeps building up as the patient advances through the later stages of the disease, leading to reduced cardiac output, right heart failure, and ultimately, death.
The PAH market has generated much interest and investment from drug developers over the past several years, despite PAH being a rare disease. Current treatment strategies are symptomatic, and there is an unmet need of an absence of disease-modifying therapies. Development of disease-modifying therapies is a key opportunity for drug developers, and will be a major driver the PAH market over the forecast period.
