Welcome to Bayer’s Medical Affairs Cardiopulmonary Platform
This platform focuses on Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) [WHO Group 1] and inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) or persistent or recurrent CTEPH after surgical treatment [WHO Group 4].
Bayer’s history is steeped in cardiovascular care and Bayer continues to develop products that may be of benefit for patients with various cardiovascular challenges.
In the area of Pulmonary Hypertension, scientists at Bayer discovered direct stimulators of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). Bayer's, riociguat, licensed in the U.S. as Adempas, is a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). Adempas is approved in the U.S. for use in two types of pulmonary hypertension (WHO Groups 1 and 4). We invite you to explore educational resources and information on this platform.
