Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is characterized by vascular proliferation and remodeling of small pulmonary vessels, leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and, ultimately, to right ventricular failure and death. Despite recent major improvements in therapy, no current treatments cure this devastating condition. This article discusses recent progress in developing treatments that prolong patients' lives and improve their quality of life.
