Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) comprises a group of progressive pulmonary circulatory diseases characterized by a persistent increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. In early-stage PAH, the right heart maintains systolic function via myocardial hypertrophy and structural remodeling. However, with the continuous increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, this adaptive remodeling gradually becomes maladaptive and ultimately leads to right ventricular (RV) dilation, systolic dysfunction, right heart failure, and death. A systematic understanding of the intrinsic mechanism driving RV remodeling in PAH is still lacking. Previous studies have mainly focused on pulmonary vascular remodeling and associated molecular mechanisms, with insufficient attention to the dynamic trajectory of RV adaptation and failure under chronic pressure overload. This review summarizes the latest progress in our understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms underlying RV remodeling in PAH, and discusses emerging approaches for imaging assessment and therapies. By integrating mechanistic research with clinical practice, our aim was to reveal frontier advances and future challenges in RV remodeling of PAH.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
