Study suggests that pulmonary arterial hypertension extends beyond the cardiopulmonary system to affect brain structure and memory, Nature Scientific reports, April 3, 2026

Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension often present neuropsychological symptoms, which suggest central nervous system involvement. A study conducted on rats with experimentally induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, recently published on Nature Scientific Reports showed reduced exploratory activity and cognitive impairment, alongside neuroinflammation in the cortex and hippocampus, disruption of the blood-brain barrier and elevated inflammatory markers.
