Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to strain on the heart and impaired oxygenation. In 2026, research focuses on novel vasodilators, targeted therapies for PAH, improved imaging, and early detection strategies. Associated conditions include autoimmune disorders, congenital heart disease, and pulmonary embolism.
