The 7th edition of the World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension is being held on June 29-30/July 1, 2024, in Barcelona, Spain. The WSPH is the most important scientific event in the field of pulmonary hypertension. It has been convened every five years since the Evian edition in 1998 (including Venice 2003, Dana Point 2008, Nice 2013, and Nice 2018).
The WSPHs serve as a cornerstone for advancing pulmonary hypertension science and charting pathways for future progress. The published supplements, featuring symposia proceedings, represent a compendium of articles widely recognized and frequently cited within this scientific domain. With each successive iteration of the WSPH there has been a notable increase in attendance, reflecting the escalating interest among stakeholders in this field. The 6th edition in Nice 2018 attracted more than 1.500 attendees.
A dedicated task force on patient perspectives, featuring patients and patient representatives, alongside scientific experts, has been working on a paper to present in Barcelona for over a year. Their names have now been published on the WSPH website:
Hall Skaara, PHA Europe
Gergely Meszaros JD, MSc, ERN-LUNG – European Reference Network for rare respiratory diseases
Colleen Brunetti, M.Ed, C.H.C., Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Pisana Ferrari, AIPI Italian Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Prof. Adam Torbicki
Prof. H. James Ford MD
Prof. Simon Gibbs
This year the task force on patient perspectives will be the first to report back on its findings, on the opening day!
The Alliance for Pulmonary Hypertensionwill be present with a booth and the representatives of a few of its member associations.
We look forward to this extraordinary opportunity to meet, learn, share and network with members of the wider pulmonary hypertension community.
