CT Small-Artery Loss Tracks Severe Pulmonary Hypertension in COPD and Fibrosing ILD More Closely Than Parenchymal Damage

By MedXY 06/02/2026

CT-derived pulmonary vascular metrics, especially the small-artery to total arterial volume ratio, identify severe pulmonary hypertension in chronic lung disease, with distinct vascular remodeling patterns in COPD and fibrosing ILD.

The BMPR2 Nexus: How Breast Cancer Acts as a Second Hit for Pulmonary Hypertension

By MedXY 03/01/2026

Emerging evidence identifies a bidirectional link between breast cancer and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) driven by BMPR2 signaling and IL-1β-mediated inflammation. This study suggests breast cancer may serve as a critical second hit, unmasking latent vascular susceptibility in at-risk populations.
