Dyspnea, a debilitating symptom of COPD, worsens health-related quality of life (HRQL), reduces daily physical activity, increases health care utilization, and is more closely associated with survival than airflow limitation.

Identifying noninvasive measures to assess intravascular volume status and risk stratify patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is needed.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in children requires complex medical management. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains understudied in this population.

Porto-pulmonary hypertension (PoPH) represents a rare but significant form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in children.

Fibrotic lung diseases are often characterized by chronic inflammation and the progressive destruction of the vasculature, parenchyma, and airways, leading to cellular metabolic changes. 

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe complication observed in pediatric patients after hematopoietic cell transplantation or chemotherapy.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the performance of machine learning (ML) models in predicting mortality among pulmonary embolism (PE) patients, synthesizing data from 17 studies encompassing 844,071 cases.

In this PH Community Call we discussed: 

• Adventitial fibroblasts direct smooth muscle cell-state transition in pulmonary vascular disease
• Hemodynamics and Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitor Treatment Associated with Survival in ILD-PH: A PVRI GoDeep Meta-Registry Analysis 

Adhesive reactions are common complications of continuous treprostinil infusions, limiting their recommended use as a treatment for severe pulmonary hypertension.
