Abstract excerpt
Hemodynamic stress in the pulmonary vessel is directly linked to the development of vascular remodeling and dysfunction, ultimately leading to pulmonary hypertension. Recently, some advances have been made in our molecular understanding of the exogenous upstream stimuli that initiate hemodynamic pertubations as well as the downstream vasoactive effectors that control these responses. However, much still remains...
