Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Better understanding of the role of pulmonary venous vs arteriolar remodelling

  2. Multidimensional phenotyping to recognise patient subgroups positioned to respond to different therapies

  3. Rigorous pre-clinical studies combining small and large animal models

  4. Enrichment strategies, endpoint assessments and thorough haemodynamic studies, at rest and during exercise, to optimise early-stage development of candidate therapies for PH-LHF
