Iron metabolism and biomarkers in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a progressive disease characterised by increased vascular resistance and remodelling of the pulmonary vasculature. This causes strain on the right ventricle, leading eventually to failure and death. Iron status is thought to influence pulmonary vascular tone, particularly in hypoxia, and may be important in IPAH. Proteomic studies of lung tissues from IPAH patie...
