What changed for Pulmonary Hypertension

A plain English summary of what recently moved in the public data Voxsanity tracks for Pulmonary Hypertension. Updated from government registries. Not medical advice.

How to read these changes: every figure on this page is the difference between two snapshots of what Voxsanity had tracked on each date. Voxsanity only began taking daily snapshots in July 2026 and is still ingesting the public registries, so a rise here is mostly our own coverage expanding rather than new research appearing. Read it as our tracked coverage growing, not as a claim about real-world research changing this fast: it overstates how much actually changed.

Comparing the two most recent snapshots, 27 July 2026 and 28 July 2026.
