In this Community Call, we discussed: 

• Transcriptional profiles of pulmonary artery endothelial cells in pulmonary hypertension
• Shedding light on latent pulmonary vascular disease in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a supervised exercise program for patients with chronic lung disease. Among patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), PR has been shown to improve both quality of life and exercise capacity...

The correlation between hemodynamics and degree of pulmonary vascular obstruction (PVO) is known to be poor in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which makes the selection of patients eligible for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) challenging...
