BACKGROUND An important challenge to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) diagnosis and treatment is early detection of occult pulmonary vascular pathology. Symptoms are frequently confused with other disease entities that lead to inappropriate interventions and allow for progression to advanced states of disease. There is a significant need to develop new markers for early disease detection a...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis: a distinctive vasculopathy.
Systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SScPAH) has a worse prognosis and response to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy than idiopathic PAH (IPAH). These differences have not yet been explained. Knowledge concerning histological pulmonary vasculopathy in SScPAH is limited in contrast to IPAH. Therefore, we explored patterns of vasculopathy in SScPAH compared w...
BACKGROUND Exercise training positively influences exercise tolerance and functional capacity of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that exercise modulates the activated inflammatory state found in IPAH patients. METHODS Single cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed in 16 IPAH patients and 10...
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is an incurable disease of multifactorial origin. Inflammation is frequently observed in IPAH, but its role in the pathobiology is unclear. In this study the distribution, nature and number of inflammatory cells in periarterial infiltrates in lungs of children with IPAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (A...
An increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and a critical stimulation for PASMC proliferation and migration. Previously, we demonstrated that expression and function of calcium sensing receptors (CaSR) in PASMC from patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (I...
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...
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) continues to be one of the most serious intractable diseases that might start with activation of several triggers representing the genetic susceptibility of a patient. To elucidate what essentially contributes to the onset and progression of IPAH, we investigated factors playing an important role in IPAH by searching discrepant or con...
Pulmonary vascular remodeling due to overgrowth of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major cause for the elevated vascular resistance in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Increased cytosolic Ca ([Ca]cyt), resulting from enhanced capacitative Ca entry (CCE) and upregulated transient receptor potential (TRP) channel expression, is involved in stimula...
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...
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) share important pathogenic and clinical features. BMPR2 mutations are important in the pathogenesis of IPAH, but little is known about the genetic background in CTEPH. OBJECTIVE To search for mutations and polymorphisms in genes involved in the BMPR2, serotonin and nitric oxi...
