Groups 2 and 3 are only treated by treating the underlying causes. For Group 2 that would be cardiac. For Group 3 that would be lung.

Sotatercept, also called Winrevair, is only approved thus far for Group 1. It’s in phase 3 of clinical trials for Group 2. It is further behind for group 3. I applied to be in the trial for group 2 but I was rejected for not being sick enough yet.

Yes, it is worthwhile getting to a PH specialist. They can best finetune what additional kinds of tests you should have and will work with your pulmonologist to oversee the fine details of your care.

My cardiologist works VERY closely with my PH guy who really oversees a lot of my cardiac testing now

There are other meds like diuretics, or vasodilators that might be appropriate. I’m not in group 3 so I don’t really know
