Rebecca Vanderpool, PhD @rrvdpool.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Next presentation from Werner Seeger on the international effort of creating an international registry of PH. The PVRI GoDeep registry is a global approach for studying pulmonary vascular disease that is not possible at a single center or even a single country. #ATS2025
