Script 1

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a rare, progressive disease that causes the pulmonary arteries to thicken and narrow, reducing blood flow through the lungs and leading to strain on the heart.

Current understanding of the complex pathophysiology of PAH, has grown exponentially, revealing various mechanisms for treating this progressive disease.

PAH affects the pulmonary arteries and the heart by reducing blood flow through the lungs, in turn increasing strain to the heart, to eventually cause right ventricular dysfunction.

Script 2

Nestled among the stunning Welsh landscapes, The Skirrid Inn has a history steeped in mystery and phantoms. Known for its eerie legends, ghostly encounters and centuries-old secrets, this venue earned its reputation as one of Wales’ most enigmatic establishments. The exact age of the inn is unknown but it was mentioned in documents from the year eleven hundred.

It has seen its fair share of turbulent times, serving as a hostel for weary travellers, a meeting place for rebels and even where condemned prisoners were held en-route to the gallows, as it also served as a courthouse.
