Kristin Highland, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic discusses the importance of shared decision-making and patient preferences when treating patients with pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Highland, emphasizes that the patient is the true expert on their own body and that it is crucial to understand their perspective when making treatment decisions. She highlights the need to consider factors beyond just clinical outcomes, such as side effects, costs, and the patient's ability to manage the therapy. She underscores the evolving role of patient-reported outcomes in medical decision-making and the need for open communication between providers and patients to ensure individualized and preference-aligned care.
