ABSTRACT Exercise testing has long been essential for evaluating diagnosis, prognosis, and functional status in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Recent advances have clarified its role in defining reference values and prognostic markers. Nonetheless, substantial knowledge gaps persist regarding the implementation of invasive cardiopulmonary exercise ...

Prognostic Value of Acute Vasoreactivity in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT Vasoreactivity, which refers to the reduction of mean pulmonary arterial pressure in response to inhaled vasodilators, is a well‐established metric for prognostication and treatment selection in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, the role of vasoreactivity in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is less studied ...

ABSTRACT We report a novel genetic variant in a patient with treatment‐resistant peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PPS) and progressive pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A premature infant was diagnosed with bilateral PPS requiring multiple surgical reconstructions and interventional procedures with refractory proximal stenoses.
