Whether you’re a pulmonary hypertension specialist, a pharmaceutical or industry colleague, a regulator, a patient, or a caregiver, joining our growing global family means you share our vision to reduce the global burden of pulmonary vascular disease.
The abstract submission deadline has been extended for PVRI 2025 Rio! All accepted abstracts will be published in our journal, and the best abstracts will be selected for oral presentations in our main programme. Make sure to submit before 21 October 2024!
Webinar presentations: Identification of arterial and venous morphologic markers in pulmonary arterial hypertension using CT imaging; The keto diet as treatment for pulmonary hypertension associated with obesity; Endothelial transdifferential from exacerbated inflammatory signaling in BMP9 in lung endothelium; The role of pericytes in the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Webinar presentations: Cellular mechosignaling in pulmonary arterial hypertension; Sex differences in pulmonary arterial hypertension randomized clinical trials; Precapillary pulmonary hypertension and death from COVID-19; Estradiol and estrogen receptor protection of right ventricular function – role of apelin; Prostacyclin reverses right ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction in severe PAH; Pulmonary vascular complications of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This research aims to investigate the impact of Didang decoction (DD) on the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and cancer-associated thrombosis in lung cancer. BALB/c nude mice were used to establish xenograft models for inducing deep vein thrombosis. Tumor growth and thrombus length were assessed.
Endothelial dysfunction is an underlying mechanism for the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF) may help repair the dysfunctional endothelium and provide treatment for PAH.
Right ventricle (RV)-to-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling measured by the ratio of echocardiography-derived tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) is a meaningful prognostic marker in pulmonary hypertension (PH).
These annual awards are given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of pulmonary hypertension. They celebrate notable achievements made by special individuals across the world. The PVRI Lifetime Achievement Award 2025 and the PVRI Achievement Award 2025 will be presented at PVRI 2025 Rio.
This World Heart Day, PVRI supports the WHF campaign calling for increased awareness, better healthcare policies and more funding for heart health research.
The PVRI launched the Pulmonary Hypertension Global Patient Survey (PH GPS) in October 2023 to help clinicians better understand the impacts of PH on patients. The first global survey of its kind was aimed at those living with PH and their carers.
The Aristotle Classes on PH & ACHD is a scientific event organised jointly by the Medical School of Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece, the Heart Center at the University of Cologne, Germany and Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals, Imperial College, London, UK.
