Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder of the pulmonary circulation in which elevated pressure in the pulmonary vascular circuit, when severe, can lead to right heart failure and eventually cause death. The last three decades have seen significant advances in our understanding of this group of disorders and, with this understanding, the development of novel therapies to assist in… View more

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (formerly referred to as primary pulmonary hypertension) is an uncommon yet progressively fatal disease defined by the presence of mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 25mmHg at rest or greater than 30mmHg with exercise as tested by right heart catheterization in the absence of other etiologies for pulmonary hypertension. Across several studied… View more

The principal manifestation of heart failure progression is a… View more
