Once diagnosed with either PH or PPH, what is the life-expectancy and prognosis?
In the early 1990’s patients could expect a three year life expectancy. However, the development of Flolan treatment in 1994 provided a viable way to treat the disease and raised life expectancy to 5 or more years. These prognosis are not good and much work needs to be done in developing a cure and effective treatments for PH.
