Biography
Dr. Oudiz has participated in several trials of innovative medical treatments for pulmonary hypertension, many of which are still ongoing. Dr. Oudiz's research focus has been to describe the physiologic abnormalities that are caused by pulmonary hypertension by using measurements of lung gas exchange during exercise and to study exercise rehabilitation as a treatment modality for patients with pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Oudiz served as chair of the criteria committee for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association’s Pulmonary Hypertension Care Center Initiative. The initiative is establishing a program for accreditation of centers with special expertise in pulmonary hypertension, particularly pulmonary arterial hypertension, to raise the overall quality of care and outcomes in patients.
