Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe lung disease marked by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, causing symptoms that often lead to late diagnosis and a poor prognosis, with a median life expectancy of only three years.
- The condition involves a combination of factors leading to blockage and stiffening of blood vessels in the lungs, resulting in right heart strain and potential failure.
- A systematic review of recent studies evaluated various PAH treatments, highlighting that while many drugs show promise, most do not offer a cure and some, like imatinib, have undesirable side effects.
