    Abstract Ever since the second world symposium on pulmonary hypertension (PH) held in Evian, France, in 1998, PH has been classified into five major clinical groups. Group 5 PH includes a variety of distinct conditions with unclear and/or multifactorial underlying pathologies. Management of these patients is challenging as the number of patients within these groups is often small, not all individuals with certain underlying conditions are affected by PH and patients exhibit distinct symptoms due to different underlying diseases. Studies and clinical trials in these groups are largely lacking and mostly restricted to case series and registry reports. Nonetheless, the worldwide burden of group 5 PH is estimated to be significant in terms of the prevalence of some associated diseases. Group 5 PH encompasses six subgroups, including haematological disorders (inherited and acquired chronic haemolytic anaemia and chronic myeloproliferative disorders), systemic disorders (sarcoidosis, pulmonary Langerhans's cell histiocytosis and neurofibromatosis type 1), metabolic disorders (glycogen storage diseases and Gaucher disease), chronic renal failure with or without haemodialysis, pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy and fibrosing mediastinitis.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is highly prevalent in patients with left heart disease (LHD) and negatively impacts prognosis. The most common causes of PH associated with LHD (PH-LHD) are left heart failure and valvular heart disease. In LHD, passive backward transmission of increased left-sided filling pressures leads to isolated post-capillary PH. Additional pulmonary vasoconstriction and remodelling lead to a higher vascular load and combined pre- and post-capillary PH. The increased afterload leads to right ventricular dysfunction and failure. Multimodality imaging of the heart plays a central role in the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of patients with PH-LHD. Echocardiography provides information about the estimated pulmonary artery pressure, morphology and function of the left and right side of the heart, and valvular abnormalities. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for volumetric measurements and provides myocardial tissue characterisation. Computed tomography of the thorax may show general features of PH and/or LHD and is helpful in excluding other PH causes. Histopathology reveals a spectrum of pre- and post-capillary vasculopathy, including intimal fibrosis, media smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, adventitial fibrosis and capillary congestion. In this paper, we provide an overview of clinical, imaging and histopathological findings in PH-LHD based on three clinical cases.

    Abstract Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD), also known as "pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with overt features of venous/capillary involvement", is a rare cause of PAH characterised by substantial small pulmonary vein and capillary involvement, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular failure. Environmental risk factors have been associated with the development of PVOD, such as occupational exposure to organic solvents and chemotherapy, notably mitomycin. PVOD may also be associated with a mutation in the

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with left heart disease (PH-LHD) is the most common form of PH. In PH-LHD, changes in the pulmonary vasculature are assumed to be mainly caused by pulmonary venous congestion. However, the underlying mechanisms of this form of PH are poorly understood. We aimed to establish a model of PH associated with pulmonary venous congestion. Wistar-Kyoto rats underwent partial occlusion of the left pulmonary vein to induce pulmonary venous congestion or sham surgery and were assessed at various time points post-surgery (3, 6, 9, 12 weeks). In vivo cardiopulmonary phenotyping was performed by using echocardiography along with heart catheterization. Histomorphometry methods were used to assess pulmonary vascular remodeling (e.g., wall thickness, degree of muscularization). Left pulmonary vein banding (PVB) resulted in mildly elevated right ventricular systolic pressure and moderate right ventricular hypertrophy. In PVB rats, small- and medium-sized pulmonary vessels in the left lung were characterized by increased wall thickness and muscularization. Taken together, our data demonstrate that left PVB-induced pulmonary venous congestion is associated with pulmonary vascular remodeling and mild PH.

    Abstract Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and underdiagnosed complication of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). CTEPH is a common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with distinct management strategy including pulmonary endarterectomy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, long-term anticoagulation and PH drugs targeting endothelial cell dysfunction. Initially, PH in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) was thought to be due exclusively to the intravascular obstruction of pulmonary arteries by unresolved fibrotic clots. However, it is now well accepted that pulmonary vascular remodelling can include significant pulmonary microvasculopathy, which plays a role in the development of CTEPH. The histological description and clinical consequences of CTEPH microvasculopathy are now better understood. These lesions may involve not only small muscular pulmonary arteries <500 µm, but also pulmonary capillaries and veins. In addition, enlargement and proliferation of systemic bronchial arteries as well as anastomoses between the systemic and pulmonary circulations contribute to the development of microvasculopathy. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of CTEPH.

    Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition that is characterised by a progressive increase of pulmonary vascular resistances that leads to right ventricular failure and death, if untreated. The underlying narrowing of the pulmonary vasculature relies on several independent and interdependent biological pathways, such as genetic predisposition and epigenetic changes, imbalance of vasodilating and vasoconstrictive mediators, as well as dysimmunity and inflammation that will trigger endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell proliferation, fibroblast activation and collagen deposition. Progressive constriction of the pulmonary vasculature, in turn, initiates and sustains hypertrophic and maladaptive myocardial remodelling of the right ventricle. In this review, we focus on the role of inflammation and dysimmunity in PAH which is generally accepted today, although existing PAH-specific medical therapies still lack targeted immune-modulating approaches.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening and often fatal disease, characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and secondary right ventricular failure. Since etiologies of PH are multiple and its pathogenesis is complex, histology from lungs of patients with PH may help us to determine different etiological factors of the disease. The degree of involvement of various cell types and structures within the lung tissue represents an important indicator of the pathophysiologal process. So even if the role for pathologists in routine management of PH is limited, lessons can be learned from morphology. The present chapter outlines the current understanding of this disease from the pathologist's point of view.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) because of chronic lung disease is categorized as Group 3 PH in the most recent classification system. Prevalence of these diseases is increasing over time, creating a growing need for effective therapeutic options. Recent approval of the first pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy for the treatment of Group 3 PH related to interstitial lung disease represents an encouraging advancement. This review focuses on molecular mechanisms contributing to pulmonary vasculopathy in chronic hypoxia, the pathology and epidemiology of Group 3 PH, the right ventricular dysfunction observed in this population and clinical trial data that inform the use of pulmonary vasodilators in Group 3 PH.

    Title translation Physiopathology and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
    Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease affecting mainly the pre-capillary pulmonary vascular bed. However, some forms of the disease have venous/capillary involvement. It is an obstructive remodelling of the pulmonary arterioles coupled with vascular pruning, increasing right ventricular afterload and leading to right heart failure. PAH has a complex pathogeny that is detailed in this review. Current specific treatments target endothelial dysfunction, and primarily aim at vasodilatation. Promising innovative treatments targeting the pulmonary artery remodelling are under development.
