Current and future treatments of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Therapeutic options for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have increased over the last decades. The advent of pharmacological therapies targeting the prostacyclin, endothelin, and NO pathways has significantly improved outcomes. However, for the vast

A Topological Data Analysis Study on Murine Pulmonary Arterial Trees with Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial blood pressure above 20 mmHg, is a cardiovascular disease impacting the pulmonary vasculature. PH is accompanied by vascular remodeling, wherein vessels become stiffer, large vessels dilate, and smaller vessels constrict.

Macitentan and morbidity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND Current therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension have been adopted on the basis of short-term trials with exercise capacity as the primary end point. We assessed the efficacy of macitentan, a new dual endothelin-receptor antagonist, using

Matrix metalloproteinase 7 in diagnosis and differentiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe disease for which diagnosis often is delayed. Matrix metalloproteinases have been suggested to play a role in vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension development. Our aim was therefore to investigate the

Anticoagulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a decision analysis
Systemic anticoagulation may be beneficial in pulmonary arterial hypertension, but there is no randomized clinical trial data to guide therapeutic decision making, and current guidelines do not account for patient preferences or quality of life. Decision
