Untangling the mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension-induced right ventricular stiffening in a large animal model
2023-04-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHT) is a devastating disease with low survival rates. In PHT, chronic pressure overload leads to right ventricle (RV) remodeling and stiffening; thus, impeding diastolic filling and ventricular function. Multiple mechanisms contribute to RV stiffening, including wall thickening, microstructural disorganization, and myocardial stiffening. The...
