Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and chronic condition marked by antiproliferative changes in the pulmonary arterioles, resulting in endothelial and smooth muscle proliferation and dysfunction, inflammation, and the formation of blood clots. PAH is primarily caused by remodeling pulmonary arteries, narrowing and obstructing the smallest arteries. This increased resistance in the pulmonary circulation results in elevated pressure within the right ventricle. Specific gene mutations, including BMPR2 (2q33), ACVRL1 (12q13), Endoglin (9q34), CAV1 (7q31), KCNK3 (2p23), Smad9 (13q12), and TBX4 (17q21), have been associated with heritable PAH. Most cases of PAH typically develop in adults, with occasional occurrences in children. Women are twice as likely as men to be affected by this condition. Initial symptoms include shortness of breath, fainting, chest discomfort, palpitations, and swelling in the lower extremities. Clinical signs include a prominent and palpable...
