Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a right heart failure syndrome. In early-stage PAH,
the right ventricle tends to remain adapted to afterload with increased contractility and little …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a term used to classify a variety of conditions that
share in common an injury to the pulmonary vasculature that produces elevations in …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is an obstructive pulmonary vasculopathy that leads to
increased pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular overload and failure, and death …

The practical management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) requires an accurate
assessment of disease severity and prognosis. A number of prognostic indicators are known …

Background Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of outcome in pulmonary
arterial hypertension (PAH). However, uncertainty persists about the optimal method of …

BACKGROUND: In patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH) progression of
the disease and survival are related to the capability of the right ventricle to adapt to the …

Aims This study investigated the relationship between right ventricular (RV) structure and
function and survival in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Methods and …

Although right ventricular (RV) failure is the main cause of death in patients with pulmonary
arterial hypertension (PAH), there is insufficient data about the effects of PAH treatment on …

Right heart function is the main determinant of prognosis in pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH). At present, no treatments are currently available that directly target the right ventricle …
