Non-Invasive Assessment of Endothelial Dysfunction in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Non-Invasive Assessment of Endothelial Dysfunction in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by an increased pressure in the pulmonary arterial circulation, resulting in the elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance. Pulmonary endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, triggered by shear stress and hypoxia, constitute the hallmarks of p...
