Mayo Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic [Rochester, MN, USA]

"In order to meet the unique demands of evaluation and management
of patients with primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension,
and to facilitate delivery of complex chronic therapeutic regimens,
Mayo Clinic initiated the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic in January
1996. When patients with documented or proven pulmonary
hypertension are seen in this clinic, a concentrated multidisciplinary
approach is undertaken, with involvement by experienced cardiologists,
pulmonologists, general and transplant surgeons, clinical investigators,
and
dedicated nursing staff. The function of the clinic ensures ready access
to care by
very ill patients and delivery of prostacyclin (and other cutting-edge
or
investigational treatment modalities) to appropriately selected
patients. "
