Study of the role of VEGF-A and VEGF-A165b in pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension - Study of the role of VEGF-A and VEGF-A165b in pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension

sVEGF-A165b has the potential to detect LD-PH among the etiologies of PH, and sES may detect CTD-PAH in PAH. In addition, sES may be a marker to estimate the severity of PH. Because sES was correlated with the main items of the ESC risk table, sES is thought to reflect the severity of PH in recent treatment strategies. Further studies are needed in a treatment-naive cohort to verify the usefulness of sES.
