About Us
Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI) is a global medical organisation focused on the improvement of care and awareness of pulmonary vascular diseases.
Our organisation facilitates the global research and development of medicines for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and other PVD symptoms. We have established Regional and Specialist PVRI Task Forces all over the world to raise awareness of this disease and learn more about its causes, effects and how it can be treated.
The PVRI is a small charity with a global reach and an important purpose: to reduce the burden of pulmonary vascular disease. We’re working to achieve this by bringing together an international network of professionals to improve clinical care, education and PVD research. Our network comprises thousands of clinicians, scientists, academics, regulators and industry partners. They are supported by our small staff team, and together we deliver conferences and symposia, e-learning and a quarterly academic journal Pulmonary Circulation. Many of the professionals in our network are also active in regional and disease-specific workgroups, each designed to address the most urgent challenges in local care, research and the development of effective treatments.
