The history of advances in understanding pulmonary circulation is long, dating to the 13th century. Subsequent centuries produced halting progress until the 20th century when investigators applied right heart catheterization and light-microscopy to better understand the physiology and pathology of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The work of Paul Wood, Cornelis Wagenvoort, and others during the first seven decades of the 20th century set the stage for five decades of extraordinary progress.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) constitutes a critical challenge in cardiopulmonary medicine with a pathogenesis that is multifaceted and intricate. Ion channels, crucial determinants of cellular electrochemical gradient modulation, have emerged as significant participants in the pathophysiological progression of PH.
