Traditionally, the PH World Symposia series, initiated in Geneva in 1973 and held every 5 years after the Evian edition in 1998 (Venice 2003, Dana Point 2008, Nice 2013, Nice 2018), has marked the progress in pulmonary hypertension science and has identified fruitful directions for future developments. The published supplements, including the symposia proceedings, constitute a collection of articles among the most cited in this scientific area.
Kudos to the Organising Committee for putting together this pivotal event!
And to all the members of the pulmonary hypertension community who contributed to the event.
