The Liu Center for the Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension is dedicated to providing the best and most current therapy available for patients with primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension.

The Liu Center staff specialize in the newest FDA approved therapy of bosentan (Tracleer),
treprostinil (Remodulin), iloprost (Ventavis), and continuous 24-hour infusion of Prostacyclin (Flolan).
We also have extensive experience with sildenafil (Viagra), and offer novel new agents for those qualified
to participate in our many research protocols (see below).
