INTRODUCTION Systemic sclerosis (SSc) complicated by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) carries a poor prognosis, despite pulmonary vascular dilating therapy. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are potential therapeutic targets for PAH because of their proliferative effects on vessel remodelling. To explore their role in SScPAH, we...
Right ventricular (RV) pressure overload has a vastly different clinical course in children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) than in children with pulmonary stenosis (PS). While RV function is well recognized as a key prognostic factor in iPAH, adverse ventricular-ventricular interactions and LV dysfunction are less well characterized and the pathophysiology is incompletel...
Abstract Background One of the most challenging differential diagnoses in pulmonary hypertension clinical practice, is discrimination between idiopathic arterial (IPAH) and due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). Aim We elaborate a score (considering patient history, demographics, echocardiographic characteristics) that can predict, noninvasively, PH-HFpEF vs IPAH diag...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is hemodynamically classified as pre-capillary (as seen in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [IPAH]) or post-capillary (as seen in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]). Overlaps between these conditions exist. Some patients present with risk factors for left heart disease but pre-capillary PH, whereas patients with HFpEF may hav...
AIM The aim of the present study was to identify the possible genotypic association of 3'UTR Hind III polymorphism of Plasminogen activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). BACKGROUND IPAH is a disorder with abnormally raised mean pulmonary arterial pressure and increase in the resistance to blood flow in pulmonary artery. One of the pathologica...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common finding in patients with chronic fibrosing idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP). Little is known about the response to pulmonary vasodilator therapy in this patient population. COMPERA is an international registry that prospectively captures data from patients with various forms of PH receiving pulmonary vasodilator therapies. METHODS We ...
Mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor-2 (BMPR2) have been found in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH); however, the mechanistic link between loss of BMPR2 signaling and the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension is unclear. We hypothesized that, contrary to smooth muscle cells, this pathway promotes survival in pulmonary artery endotheli...
This study measured glucose uptake in the right ventricle (RV) of patients with pulmonary hypertension and investigated the relationship to hemodynamics and survival. Myocardial 18F-fluorodeoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake was measured using single-photon positron emission tomography (SPECT) in 24 patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and 43 patients with congenital heart dise...
BACKGROUND To elucidate further the pathogenesis of sporadic, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and identify potential therapeutic avenues, differential gene expression in IPAH was examined by suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH). METHODS Peripheral lung samples were obtained immediately after removal from patients undergoing lung transplant for IPAH without familial di...
Extracellular high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) acts as a signalling molecule during inflammation, cell differentiation and angiogenesis. Increased abundance of HMGB1 is associated with several pathological disorders such as cancer, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we investigated the relevance of HMGB1 in the pathological remodelling present in patients w...
