Dobutamine stress MRI in pulmonary hypertension: relationships between stress pulmonary artery relative area change, RV performance, and 10-year survival [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular (RV) performance determines survival. Pulmonary artery (PA) stiffening is an important biomechanical event in PH and also predicts survival based on the PA relative area change (RAC) measured at rest ...

The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but debilitating disease, which if left untreated rapidly progresses to right ventricular failure and eventually death. In the quest to understand the pathogenesis of this disease differences in the profile,

Exercise ventilatory reserve predicts survival in adult congenital heart disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension with Eisenmenger physiology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2022
