- W4385345917 abstract "Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and progressive disease characterised by remodelling of the pulmonary arteries and progressive narrowing of the pulmonary vasculature. This leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure and, if left untreated, to right ventricular failure and death. A correct diagnosis requires a complete work-up including right heart catheterisation performed in a specialised centre. Although our knowledge of the epidemiology, pathology and pathophysiology of the disease, as well as the development of innovative therapies, has progressed in recent decades, PAH remains a serious clinical condition. Current treatments for the disease target the three specific pathways of endothelial dysfunction that characterise PAH: the endothelin, nitric oxide and prostacyclin pathways. The current treatment algorithm is based on the assessment of severity using a multiparametric risk stratification approach at the time of diagnosis (baseline) and at regular follow-up visits. It recommends the initiation of combination therapy in PAH patients without cardiopulmonary comorbidities. The choice of therapy (dual or triple) depends on the initial severity of the condition. The main treatment goal is to achieve low-risk status. Further escalation of treatment is required if low-risk status is not achieved at subsequent follow-up assessments. In the most severe patients, who are already on maximal medical therapy, lung transplantation may be indicated. Recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease have led to the development of promising emerging therapies targeting dysfunctional pathways beyond endothelial dysfunction, including the TGF-β and PDGF pathways." @default.
