Figure 1 Guideline algorithm for pharmacologic therapy for PAH in adults. Where multiple drug options are provided, there is no comparative effectiveness data to suggest greater benefit of one therapy over the other. In these situations, other factors, such as patient preferences & values, cost, and insurance coverage, may guide decision-making. CCB = calcium channel blocker; 6MWD = 6-min walk distance; FC = functional class; PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension; PH = pulmonary hypertension; RV = right ventricular; WHO = World Health Organization.

Figure 2 Combination therapy algorithm. Where multiple drug options are provided, there is no comparative effectiveness data to suggest greater benefit of one therapy over the other. In these situations, other factors, such as patient preferences & values, cost, and insurance coverage, may guide decision-making. See Figure 1 for Boxes 1 and 2.
