In this episode, Dr. Scott Olitsky, the Global Center of Excellence Outreach Director for Cure HHT, discusses hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic disease characterized by abnormal blood vessel development. HHT can cause bleeding in various parts of the body, with nosebleeds being the most common symptom. In some cases, HHT can lead to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Medications that dilate blood vessels can worsen bleeding in HHT patients. Dr. Olitsky shares his personal connection to HHT and PAH and highlights the efforts of Cure HHT to improve diagnosis and treatment options for patients.
