The serotonin transporter promotes a pathological estrogen metabolic pathway in pulmonary hypertension via cytochrome P450 1B1 pulmonary circulation [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating vasculopathy that predominates in women and has been associated with dysregulated estrogen and serotonin signaling. Overexpression of the serotonin transporter (SERT+) in mice results in an estrogen-

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

“Nocturnal Seizures” in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
The usual differential diagnoses of nocturnal events in children include parasomnias, nocturnal seizures, nocturnal reflux (Sandifer syndrome), hypnic jerks, periodic limb movements of sleep, and sleep disordered breathing. We report a previously healthy young girl who presented to the sleep clinic for evaluation of nocturnal events which were ...

Nocturnal hypoxia in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
BackgroundSleep‐disordered breathing causes a variety of cardiovascular complications and increases the risk of a poor prognosis in patients. There is still some controversy regarding the clinical diagnosis and treatment of sleep‐disordered breathing in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
