Ladakh, a land of spirituality with mystic Lamas and a traveller’s paradise with mighty mountains and high passes with their splendid beauty, welcomes you to the 7th International Leh Symposium 2024 with a theme on ‘Molecular mechanisms and therapeutics of hypoxic lung’.

'Clinical aspects' is part of the Microbes Virtual Symposium series by the iPVD, a global education programme that highlights top-notch research on inflammation and infectious PVD.

Webinar presentations: Autophagy and BMPR2 receptor degradation as the cause of PAH; BMPR1A promotes ID2-ZEB1 interaction to suppress endothelial to mesenchymal transition in PAH; Cardiovascular and pulmonary phenotypes for single and double knockout mice deficient in BMP9 and BMP10; BMPR2 – When and where the animal models match patient disease; miR-182 balances BMP and TGF signaling pathways to regulate PH

Patient directed webinar covering: When do I need to think about a lung transplant?, Transplant Evaluation, Listing and Surgery, What Can I expect after the transplant, A Patient’s Perspective: from two patients.

Part of the Hypoxia in pulmonary vascular research – altitude and beyond webinar series

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

Organised by the leaders of the PVRI LATAM Task Force, the meeting will address the latest advances in diagnosis and management of adult and paediatric PH and explore avenues to increase the partnership of adult and paediatric physicians to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life for PH patients across the entire lifespan.
