The Role of Neutrophils and Neutrophil Elastase in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The Role of Neutrophils and Neutrophil Elastase in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe vasculopathy characterized by the presence of fibrotic lesions in the arterial wall and the loss of small distal pulmonary arteries. The vasculopathy is accompanied by perivascular inflammation and increased protease levels, with neutrophil elastase...
