Addition of sildenafil to long-term intravenous epoprostenol therapy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: a randomized trial.

19 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Oral sildenafil and intravenous epoprostenol have independently been shown to be effective in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of adding oral sildenafil to long-term intravenous ... Read more...

NOX4 regulates ROS levels under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, triggers proliferation, and inhibits apoptosis in pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts.

29 Sep 2008 The NADPH oxidases are involved in vascular remodeling processes and oxygen sensing. Hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial remodeling results in thickening of the vessel wall and reduction of the area of vessel lumen, leading to pulmonary hypertension ... Read more...

BMPR2 mutation in a patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension and suspected hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

29 Sep 2008 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) are distinct clinical entities caused by germline mutations in genes encoding members of the TGFbeta/BMP superfamily: BMPR2 in PAH and ACVRL1, ENG, or SMAD4 in ... Read more...
