Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an intractable disease characterized by the narrowing or occlusion of pulmonary vessels, which leads to increased pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance. Although the life expectancy of patients with PH has considerably improved since the advent of targeted drug or balloon pulmonary angioplasty, PH remains a progressive disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the development of new drug-based therapies or other interventions is still required, and many preclinical research and clinical trials for PH treatment are ongoing.
This Special Issue aims to provide critical insights into the current knowledge of advances in diagnostics and treatments for PH. We cordially invite you to submit relevant papers for consideration for peer review and expeditious publication in this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Both original investigations and comprehensive reviews are welcome.
