Study finds that early parenteral prostacyclin therapy enables near-normal haemodynamics in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, European Respiratory Journal, July 16, 2026

In a single-centre Japanese cohort of 101 patients with haemodynamically severe pulmonary arterial hypertension treated with parenteral prostacyclin (1999–2023), 22 patients (22%) achieved near-normal haemodynamics and were successfully weaned off prostacyclin, all without adverse events, after a mean of 7.7 years of treatment. Those who de-escalated tended to have started prostacyclin earlier in their disease

Placental growth factor promotes endothelial activation and inflammatory remodelling in pulmonary hypertension, Cardiovascular Research, July 1, 2026

Could a new protein become a future treatment target in pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)? Researchers have identified a protein called placental growth factor (PlGF) as a possible new driver of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Although its name suggests it is only involved in pregnancy, placental growth factor is also active in blood vessels and the immune

Phase 2 trial on new investigational treatment for pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) completes enrolment, Pulmonary Hypertension News, June 15, 2026

Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PH-HFpEF) is classified as Group 2 pulmonary hypertension by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is a type of heart failure in which the heart still pumps normally but becomes too stiff to fill properly with blood between heartbeats. This can cause pressure to build

Haemodynamic Responses to Sotatercept and Parenteral Prostacyclins in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, June 1, 2026

French researchers retrospectively evaluated the haemodynamic trajectory of 62 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who sequentially received parenteral prostacyclins and sotatercept as part of the French early access program. They found that both treatments lowered the resistance in the blood vessels of the lungs, making it easier for blood to flow. However, the treatments worked
