Thirty Years of Progress in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Treatment: From Despair to Hope, Chinese Medical Journal, May 19, 2026

Researchers from China have traced the remarkable 30-year evolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension treatment, from a disease with no effective options to one on the cusp of a potential cure. What was once described as the “cancer of cardiovascular diseases” — with a median survival of just 2.8 years after diagnosis — has become a

“Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension: a clarification is needed”, not a new article but still highly relevant today, ERS Editorial

This article is not new (it dates back to 2010) but we are publishing it because pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are often confused, whereas they are very different conditions with different diagnostic approaches and treatments. Mixing them up can lead to serious diagnostic and therapeutic errors. Key points: *Pulmonary hypertension is

Remote exercise assessment in pulmonary hypertension, Current Opinions in Pulmonary Medicine, May 7, 2026

Assessment of exercise provides important prognostic information about pulmonary arterial hypertension patients. Researchers from the UK have recently published a review of current digital alternatives to traditional outcome measures. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a key tool for monitoring pulmonary arterial hypertension, but since care is often centralized, patients may only do it once
