Brief summary
The aim of this study is to understand the treatment patterns in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) or Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) during a switch of treatment to Adempas in real-life clinical practice. In addition, this study will describe patient demographics and reason for switching

Exclusion criteria
* Patients participating in an investigational program with interventions outside of routine clinical practice * Patients who have not switched their therapy from an Endothelin Receptor Antagonist (ERA) or Prostacyclin Analog (PCA) but received Adempas purely as an add-on therapy
