Abstract:
Since 1973,the World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension(WSPH)has served as a pivotal platform for the advancing research in pulmonary hypertension(PH).At the 6th WSPH in 2018,the WSPH expert group refined the definitions related to cardiopulmonary physiology and right ventricular(RV)failure,thereby underscoring the critical role of RV dysfunction in the progression of PH.With ongoing advances in the field,RV failure associated with PH has received increasing attention and is now recognized as an important determinant of the prognosis of PH.The 7th WSPH,held in Barcelona,Spain,in 2024,presented the latest perspectives on the RV pathophysiology and its interaction with the pulmonary vasculature.The symposium emphasized new insights into the pathology of RV failure,RV phenotypes across different PH subgroups,and progress in therapeutic approaches targeting RV dysfunction.Additionally,the WSPH expert group delineated prospective research directions and identified unresolved issues.This article will review the RV function-related updates from the 7th WSPH and summarize recent findings,providing a systematic review of the evolution and breakthroughs in RV function research within the context of PH.
