Treatment paradigm shifts in pulmonary arterial hypertension: evidence from a phase 3 study in Asia on sotatercept, JACC, March 3, 2026

A Japanese study has confirmed that sotatercept works just as well in Asian patients, even though pulmonary arterial hypertension presents somewhat differently in the Asian population: patients tend to have longer disease duration, more severe baseline profiles, and are more frequently on intensive triple therapy including parenteral prostacyclin. This was a regional Phase 3, open-label

Methamphetamine-Associated pulmonary arterial hypertension: a growing and distinct patient population, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplant, March 5, 2026

A large US claims-based study has shed light on a worrying trend: pulmonary arterial hypertension linked to methamphetamine use (Meth-APAH) is rising fast — up 93% between 2018 and 2022, a rate disproportionate to the general rise in methamphetamine use itself. Compared to other pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, those with Meth-APAH tend to be younger,

Genetics Meets Environment: New Insights into Heritable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (HPAH), Nature Scientific Reports, January 29, 2026

The most common genetic cause of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension is a pathogenic variant in the BMPR2 gene, which encodes a receptor in the TGF-β signaling pathway. While 18 pulmonary arterial hypertension genes have been identified and can be tested simultaneously through gene panel sequencing, approximately 17% of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension patients show no
