Novel pathways of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Diastolic heart failure (HF) i.e., HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for ~50% of all clinical HF presentations; but unlike systolic HF i.e., HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), there are no evidenced based ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension outcomes upon endothelin-1 receptor antagonist switch to macitentan [PDF]
Objectives: To assess whether switching patients with suboptimally controlled pulmonary arterial hypertension from bosentan or ambrisentan to macitentan would improve six-minute walk test (6MWT) distance and World Health Organization functional class ...

The role of the right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right ventricular function, and right heart failure is the main cause of death in

The Use of Treprostinil for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT Background Treprostinil for the treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia‐associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD‐PH) has previously been described in small cohort studies, often used later in the course after failure to improve on other therapies.
