The Alliance for Pulmonary Hypertension team – Ioanna Alysandratou, Pisana Ferrari, Mélanie Gallant-Dewavrin, Louise Bouman – van der Waal, Hans-Dieter Kulla and Laure Rosé – is back from the 7th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension in Barcelona.
Attending the World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension was an incredibly exciting and enriching experience. The scientific sessions were a highlight, offering cutting-edge insights into the latest research and advancements in the field. It was a privilege to meet and network with some of the top medical experts in the world, whose groundbreaking work is paving the way for new treatments and improved patient outcomes.
The symposium also provided a unique opportunity to engage with representatives from the industry, fostering collaborations that will undoubtedly accelerate progress in pulmonary hypertension research and therapy.
Additionally, connecting with fellow association members from around the globe was inspiring and reaffirmed the collective commitment to combating this challenging condition.
Overall, the symposium was a testament to the dynamic and collaborative nature of the pulmonary hypertension community. It was an honour to be a part of such a pivotal event, and we look forward to applying the knowledge gained and continuing to contribute to this vital field.
For Louise, it was the first time: “For me, it was my first visit to the WSPH, but it is already the 7th edition! Thank you for all the interesting conversations I had during these days, the organizing committee for making this event possible, and to the speakers of all task forces for their great presentations.”
Mélanie commented: “It’s the third time I was at a WSPH; it is very encouraging to hear genuine novelties, and such a pleasure to meet again with familiar friendly faces.”
