Researchers Discuss the Possible Role of Autoimmune Alterations in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Pathogenesis

Last year, a study entitled “T-Helper 17 Cell Polarization in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension” published in the Chest journal associated the increased activity of a T-cell-mediated immune process — the T-helper 17 pathway — with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). This research is now being contested by a group of researchers…

Combined Letairis/Cialis Treatment Found to Improve Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Outcomes

In a recent study titled, “Initial Use of Ambrisentan plus Tadalafil in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension,” published in the New England Journal of Medicine, a global team of researchers demonstrated that treatment combining ambrisentan and tadalafil significantly improves the clinical condition of pulmonary arterial hypertension patients.
