Sex-dependent influence of endogenous estrogen in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2014
Rationale: The incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is greater in women suggesting estrogens may play a role in the disease pathogenesis. Experimentally, in males exogenously administered estrogen can protect against PH; however in models ...

Echocardiography and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is an heterogeneous condition brought on by a wide range of causes. It is characterized by structural changes in small pulmonary arteries, that produce a progressive increase in pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right ventricle failure and death.

Persistent Vascular Collagen Accumulation Alters Hemodynamic Recovery from Chronic Hypoxia [PDF]

, 2012
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is caused by narrowing and stiffening of the pulmonary arteries that increase pulmonary vascular impedance (PVZ). In particular, small arteries narrow and large arteries stiffen. Large pulmonary artery (PA) stiffness
