Dr. White's focus is to understand the vascular biology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and to apply the best science in the care of patients. His lab uses a rat model of severe PAH (pneumonectomy and monocrotaline) and they measure the effects of PAH on exercise tolerance, hemodynamics, and angiography. They are testing novel small molecules that might be useful in treating patients with this devastating disease. Dr. White is currently treating ~130 patients for PAH with 30 patients on Remodulin or Flolan. We are actively enrolling in national clinical trials for PAH.
