Article Abstract

Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are happy to perform simple exercise capacity tests at home and believe this is feasible. A proportion of patients are able to use an electronic form to complete quality of life questionnaires. These findings are being used to build a telemedicine strategy for PH patients.

Application of stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases through sympathectomy.

Sympathectomy, as an emerging treatment method for cardiovascular diseases, has received extensive attention in recent years. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), a precise and noninvasive therapeutic technique, has gradually been introduced into interventions targeting the sympathetic nervous system and has shown promising prospects in the management of cardiovascular conditions. Using three-dimensional imaging, SRT can accurately localize sympathetic ganglia and deliver high-energy radiation to disrupt nerve fibers, thereby achieving effects similar to conventional sympathectomy while reducing surgery-related complications and shortening recovery time.

Background: Tetrandrine (TET) demonstrates therapeutic potential for hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH); however, its precise pharmacological mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of TET on pulmonary vascular remodeling (PVR) in HPH and elucidate the molecular pathways through which TET ameliorates HPH.

Methods: We established a rat model of HPH and evaluated the therapeutic effects of TET by measuring hemodynamic parameters, assessing right ventricular hypertrophy, and analyzing pathological changes in lung tissue.

Background: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a significant contributor to cardiac mortality in Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress play pivotal roles in the advancement of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The Monocyte-to-High-- Density-Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (MHR), a newly identified biomarker indicative of inflammatory and oxidative stress, has not been extensively researched in the context of pulmonary hypertension, especially within the scope of dilated cardiomyopathy.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but serious disease that poses a significant threat to patients' quality of life and life expectancy. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical that, due to its toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation properties, may increase the risk of developing PAH with prolonged exposure. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms linking PFOS exposure to PAH by integrating network toxicology and molecular docking methods.
