Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon disease characterized progressive remodeling of pulmonary vasculature. Although treatment for PAH have improved in last two decades but the outcome remains fatal. Currently, the therapies for PAH target three well-established pathways the nitric oxide (NO) pathway, endothelin receptors, and prostanoids. There are multiple potential targets for development of newer drugs in PAH which requires meticulous research and clinical trials.
肺动脉高压(PAH)是一种罕见的疾病,其特征是肺血管进行性重塑。尽管在过去二十年中PAH的治疗有所改善,但结果仍然是致命的。目前,PAH的治疗针对三个已确立的途径:一氧化氮(NO)途径、内皮素受体和前列腺素。PAH中有多个新药开发的潜在靶点,这需要细致的研究和临床试验。
