MPN Workshop of the Carolinas 2024 | Cardiovascular risk factors and pulmonary hypertension in patients with MPNs

Gaby Hobbs, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, discusses the importance of managing cardiovascular risk factors in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), particularly in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET), to reduce the risk of thrombotic events. Pulmonary hypertension can also occur in patients with MPNs, implying that this cardiovascular event may be a prognostic factor for clinicians to use when diagnosing and managing patients. This interview took place at the 1st Annual MPN Workshop of the Carolinas in Asheville, NC.
