Yes, CTEPH and all other forms of Pulmonary Hypertension are insidious killers and the men and women who work to treat us are incredible heroes. I include Big Pharma because Bayer Aspirin makes a drug called Adempas, it only works on Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and CTEPH, two of the rarest conditions on the planet. They lose money with each pill but they make sure we get it. November is Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month!
