Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex and progressive condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in this disease, which requires a precise and accurate diagnostic workup. Avoiding misdiagnosis is essential to avoid prescribing inappropriate and dangerous treatments.
This Special Issue aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
We would like to address different forms of PH, from the most frequent, such as PH associated with left heart disease, to the rarest, such as group 1 PH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). We invite contributions that explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PH, including molecular and cellular pathways, genetic factors, and environmental influences. Manuscripts focusing on innovative diagnostic techniques, such as advanced imaging modalities and biomarker identification, are also welcome. Additionally, we seek papers that address the latest therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological interventions, surgical approaches, and emerging treatments aimed at improving patient outcomes.
This Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the management of pulmonary hypertension, offering insights into the current state of the field and future directions for research and clinical practice.
