That all depends on the symptoms the patients experiences and the conditions that may contribute to the pah. Frequently, pah is secondary to other conditions (many auto-immune, COPD) In that case, treatment is focused on the primary condition. In rare cases, there is no reason for the pah to occur. Publicized literature states a poor prognosis of 2-5 years after diagnosis, but there have been huge advances in medical treatment and new medications. I also have stage 3 pah and have many friends who are 15-25 years post diagnosis thanks to medicines such as remodulin, flolan. check out www.phassociation.com or www.phcentral.com

If a patient has stage 3 PAH (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension), what is the prognosis amp; longevity? -
I agree with Stephanie. When I was first diagnosed at 29, it looked pretty grim as far as the prognosis. However, find a PH specialist by linking the website www.phassociation.org and get a good medical team in your corner. New drugs are being discovered and research has been awesome these past few years. There is much more hope on the horizon than there ever has before. Hang in there and fight the good fight. Others are fighting with you.
