| Popis: |
Pulmonary hypertension is a severe multifactorial disease of the pulmonary circulation characterized by a progressive elevation in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPm), leading to right ventricular failure and the death of the patient. Current therapies slow the progression of the disease but do not offer a cure. Nerve growth factor NGF is a growth factor playing a significant role in the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension, particularly in pulmonary arterial hyperreactivity, and the remodelling and inflammation of the pulmonary vasculature. Thus, targeting NGF may offer new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of this disease. |
