Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of acute pulmonary embolism. It is caused by persistent obstruction of pulmonary arteries by chronic organised fibrotic clots, despite adequate anticoagulation. The pulmonary hypertension is also caused by concomitant microvasculopathy which may progress without timely treatment. Timely and accurate diagnosis requires the combination of imaging and haemodynamic assessment. Optimal therapy should be individualised to each case and determined by an experienced multidisciplinary CTEPH team with the ability to offer all current treatment modalities. This report summarises current knowledge and presents key messages from the International CTEPH Conference, Bad Nauheim, Germany, 2021. Sessions were dedicated to 1) disease definition; 2) pathophysiology, including the impact of the hypertrophied bronchial circulation, right ventricle (dys)function, genetics and inflammation; 3) diagnosis, early after acute pulmonary embolism, using computed tomography and perfusion techniques, and supporting the selection of appropriate therapies; 4) surgical treatment, pulmonary endarterectomy for proximal and distal disease, and peri-operative management; 5) percutaneous approach or balloon pulmonary angioplasty, techniques and complications; and 6) medical treatment, including anticoagulation and pulmonary hypertension drugs, and in combination with interventional treatments. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease without pulmonary hypertension is also discussed in terms of its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) are currently accepted therapies for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This international CTEPH Registry identifies clinical characteristics of patients, diagnostic algorithms and treatment decisions in a global context. 1010 newly diagnosed consecutive patients were included in the registry between February 2015 and September 2016. Diagnosis was confirmed by right heart catheterisation, ventilation-perfusion lung scan, computerised pulmonary angiography and/or invasive pulmonary angiography after at least 3 months on anticoagulation. Overall, 649 patients (64.3%) were considered for PEA, 193 (19.1%) for BPA, 20 (2.0%) for both PEA and BPA, and 148 (14.7%) for PAH therapy only. Reasons for PEA inoperability were technical inaccessibility (n=235), comorbidities (n=63) and patient refusal (n=44). In Europe and America and other countries (AAO), 72% of patients were deemed suitable for PEA, whereas in Japan, 70% of patients were offered BPA as first choice. Sex was evenly balanced, except in Japan where 75% of patients were female. A history of acute pulmonary embolism was reported for 65.6% of patients. At least one PAH therapy was initiated in 35.8% of patients (26.2% of PEA candidates, 54.5% of BPA candidates and 54.1% of those not eligible for either PEA or BPA). At the time of analysis, 39 patients (3.9%) had died of pulmonary hypertension-related causes (3.5% after PEA and 1.8% after BPA). The registry revealed noticeable differences in patient characteristics (rates of pulmonary embolism and sex) and therapeutic approaches in Japan compared with Europe and AAO.

BackgroundRare genetic variants cause pulmonary arterial hypertension, but the contribution of common genetic variation to disease risk and natural history is poorly characterised. We tested for genome-wide association for pulmonary arterial hypertension in large international cohorts and assessed the contribution of associated regions to outcomes.MethodsWe did two separate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and a meta-analysis of pulmonary arterial hypertension. These GWAS used data from four international case-control studies across 11 744 individuals with European ancestry (including 2085 patients). One GWAS used genotypes from 5895 whole-genome sequences and the other GWAS used genotyping array data from an additional 5849 individuals. Cross-validation of loci reaching genome-wide significance was sought by meta-analysis. Conditional analysis corrected for the most significant variants at each locus was used to resolve signals for multiple associations. We functionally annotated associated variants and tested associations with duration of survival. All-cause mortality was the primary endpoint in survival analyses.FindingsA locus near SOX17 (rs10103692, odds ratio 1·80 [95% CI 1·55-2·08], p=5·13 × 10-15) and a second locus in HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 (collectively referred to as HLA-DPA1/DPB1 here; rs2856830, 1·56 [1·42-1·71], p=7·65 × 10-20) within the class II MHC region were associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The SOX17 locus had two independent signals associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (rs13266183, 1·36 [1·25-1·48], p=1·69 × 10-12; and rs10103692). Functional and epigenomic data indicate that the risk variants near SOX17 alter gene regulation via an enhancer active in endothelial cells. Pulmonary arterial hypertension risk variants determined haplotype-specific enhancer activity, and CRISPR-mediated inhibition of the enhancer reduced SOX17 expression. The HLA-DPA1/DPB1 rs2856830 genotype was strongly associated with survival. Median survival from diagnosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension with the C/C homozygous genotype was double (13·50 years [95% CI 12·07 to >13·50]) that of those with the T/T genotype (6·97 years [6·02-8·05]), despite similar baseline disease severity.InterpretationThis is the first study to report that common genetic variation at loci in an enhancer near SOX17 and in HLA-DPA1/DPB1 is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Impairment of SOX17 function might be more common in pulmonary arterial hypertension than suggested by rare mutations in SOX17. Further studies are needed to confirm the association between HLA typing or rs2856830 genotyping and survival, and to determine whether HLA typing or rs2856830 genotyping improves risk stratification in clinical practice or trials.FundingUK NIHR, BHF, UK MRC, Dinosaur Trust, NIH/NHLBI, ERS, EMBO, Wellcome Trust, EU, AHA, ACClinPharm, Netherlands CVRI, Dutch Heart Foundation, Dutch Federation of UMC, Netherlands OHRD and RNAS, German DFG, German BMBF, APH Paris, INSERM, Université Paris-Sud, and French ANR.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disorder with a poor prognosis. Deleterious variation within components of the transforming growth factor-β pathway, particularly the bone morphogenetic protein type 2 receptor (BMPR2), underlies most heritable forms of PAH. To identify the missing heritability we perform whole-genome sequencing in 1038 PAH index cases and 6385 PAH-negative control subjects. Case-control analyses reveal significant overrepresentation of rare variants in ATP13A3, AQP1 and SOX17, and provide independent validation of a critical role for GDF2 in PAH. We demonstrate familial segregation of mutations in SOX17 and AQP1 with PAH. Mutations in GDF2, encoding a BMPR2 ligand, lead to reduced secretion from transfected cells. In addition, we identify pathogenic mutations in the majority of previously reported PAH genes, and provide evidence for further putative genes. Taken together these findings contribute new insights into the molecular basis of PAH and indicate unexplored pathways for therapeutic intervention.

The article focuses on exploring the feasibility and validity of shorter walk tests, particularly the 1-minute walk test (1MWT), as alternatives to the traditional 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in assessing exercise capacity in cardiorespiratory diseases like pulmonary hypertension (PH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). It challenges the convention of the six minute duration and investigates the practicality of conducting shorter walk tests in a community setting using digital technology.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease results from the incomplete resolution of thrombi, leading to fibrotic obstructions. These vascular obstructions and additional microvasculopathy may lead to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) with increased pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, which, if left untreated, can lead to right heart failure and death. The pathobiology of CTEPH has been challenging to unravel due to its rarity, possible interference of results with anticoagulation, difficulty in selecting the most relevant study time point in relation to presentation with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and lack of animal models. In this article, we review the most relevant multifaceted cross-talking pathogenic mechanisms and advances in understanding the pathobiology in CTEPH, as well as its challenges and future direction. There appears to be a genetic background affecting the relevant pathological pathways. This includes genetic associations with dysfibrinogenemia resulting in fibrinolysis resistance, defective angiogenesis affecting thrombus resolution, and inflammatory mediators driving chronic inflammation in CTEPH. However, these are not necessarily specific to CTEPH and some of the pathways are also described in acute PE or deep vein thrombosis. In addition, there is a complex interplay between angiogenic and inflammatory mediators driving thrombus non-resolution, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling. Furthermore, there are data to suggest that infection, the microbiome, circulating microparticles, and the plasma metabolome are contributing to the pathobiology of CTEPH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH), provided lesions are proximal enough in the pulmonary vasculature to be surgically accessible and the patient is well enough to benefit from the operation in the longer term. It is a major cardiothoracic operation, requiring specialized techniques and instruments developed over several decades to access and dissect out the intra-arterial fibrotic material. While in-hospital operative mortality is low (<5%), particularly in high-volume centers, careful perioperative management in the operating theater and intensive care is mandatory to balance ventricular performance, fluid balance, ventilation, and coagulation to avoid or treat complications. Reperfusion pulmonary edema, airway hemorrhage, and right ventricular failure are the most problematic complications, often requiring the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to bridge to recovery. Successful PEA has been shown to improve both morbidity and mortality in large registries, with survival >70% at 10 years. For patients not suitable for PEA or with residual PH after PEA, balloon pulmonary angioplasty and/or PH medical therapy may prove beneficial. Here, we describe the indications for PEA, specific surgical and perioperative strategies, postoperative monitoring and management, and approaches for managing residual PH in the long term.

Background and Aims Interventional studies in pulmonary arterial hypertension completed to date have shown to be effective in symptomatic patients with significantly elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) (≥25 mmHg) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) > 3 Wood Unit (WU). However, in health the mPAP does not exceed 20 mmHg and PVR is 2 WU or lower, at rest. The ESC/ERS guidelines have recently been updated to reflect this. There is limited published data on the nature of these newly defined populations (mPAP 21–24 mmHg and PVR >2–≤3 WU) and the role of comorbidity in determining their natural history. With the change in guidelines, there is a need to understand this population and the impact of the ESC/ERS guidelines in greater detail. Methods A retrospective nationwide evaluation of the role of pulmonary haemodynamics and comorbidity in predicting survival among patients referred to the UK pulmonary hypertension (PH) centres between 2009 and 2017. In total, 2929 patients were included in the study. Patients were stratified by mPAP (<21 mmHg, 21–24 mmHg, and ≥25 mmHg) and PVR (≤2 WU, > 2–≤3 WU, and >3 WU), with 968 (33.0%) in the mPAP <21 mmHg group, 689 (23.5%) in the mPAP 21–24 mmHg group, and 1272 (43.4%) in the mPAP ≥25 mmHg group. Results Survival was negatively correlated with mPAP and PVR in the population as a whole. Survival in patients with mildly elevated mPAP (21–24 mmHg) or PVR (>2–≤3WU) was lower than among those with normal pressures (mPAP <21 mmHg) and normal PVR (PVR ≤ 2WU) independent of comorbid lung and heart disease [hazard ratio (HR) 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14–1.61, P =.0004 for mPAP vs. HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10–1.49, P =.0012 for PVR]. Among patients with mildly elevated mPAP, a mildly elevated PVR remained an independent predictor of survival when adjusted for comorbid lung and heart disease (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.01–1.75, P =.042 vs. HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.06–1.86, P =.019). 68.2% of patients with a mPAP 21–24 mmHg had evidence of underlying heart or lung disease. Patients with mildly abnormal haemodynamics were not more symptomatic than patients with normal haemodynamics. Excluding patients with heart and lung disease, connective tissue disease was associated with a poorer survival among those with PH. In this subpopulation evaluating those with a mPAP of 21–24 mmHg, survival curves only diverged after 5 years. Conclusions This study supports the change in diagnostic category of the ESC/ERS guidelines in a PH population. The newly included patients have an increased mortality independent of significant lung or heart disease. The majority of patients in this new category have underlying heart or lung disease rather than an isolated pulmonary vasculopathy. Mortality is higher if comorbidity is present. Rigorous phenotyping will be pivotal to determine which patients are at risk of progressive vasculopathic disease and in whom surveillance and recruitment to studies may be of benefit. This study provides an insight into the population defined by the new guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) covers a range of life-limiting illnesses characterized by increased mean pulmonary arterial pressures, which if untreated, lead to right heart failure and death. This is due to remodeling of the small-to-medium sized pulmonary vessels, which obstruct blood flow. Pulmonary arterial hypertension can be further categorized into idiopathic PAH (without any identifiable cause, 6th World Symposium class 1.11) and heritable PAH , (defined by mutations in specific genes, 6th World Symposium class 1.21), the most common affecting bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPRII)2 3. It is known that BMPR2-mutation positive patients have worse cardiac indices at presentation and a worse overall outcome compared to PAH without mutations4. Possessing a BMPR2 mutation also creates a pro-inflammatory state, through loss of endothelial barrier function5 and loss of antioxidant capability6. This then begs the question as to whether the mutation-positive groups have different underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and require different biomarkers and treatments, analogous to how EGFR-mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer patients respond to tyrosine kinase inhibition while the majority of NSCLC patients do not.

Rationale: NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide), a biomarker of cardiac origin, is used to risk stratify patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Its limitations include poor sensitivity to early vascular pathology. Other biomarkers of vascular or systemic origin may also be useful in the management of PAH. Objectives: Identify prognostic proteins in PAH that complement NT-proBNP and clinical risk scores. Methods: An aptamer-based assay (SomaScan version 4) targeting 4,152 proteins was used to measure plasma proteins in patients with idiopathic, heritable, or drug-induced PAH from the UK National Cohort of PAH (n = 357) and the French EFORT (Evaluation of Prognostic Factors and Therapeutic Targets in PAH) study (n = 79). Prognostic proteins were identified in discovery-replication analyses of UK samples. Proteins independent of 6-minute-walk distance and NT-proBNP entered least absolute shrinkage and selection operator modeling, and the best combination in a single score was evaluated against clinical targets in EFORT. Measurements and Main Results: Thirty-one proteins robustly informed prognosis independent of NT-proBNP and 6-minute-walk distance in the UK cohort. A weighted combination score of six proteins was validated at baseline (5-yr mortality; area under the curve [AUC], 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-0.85) and follow-up in EFORT (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.94; P = 9.96 × 10-6). The protein score risk stratified patients independent of established clinical targets and risk equations. The addition of the six-protein model score to NT-proBNP improved prediction of 5-year outcomes from AUC 0.762 (0.702-0.821) to 0.818 (0.767-0.869) by receiver operating characteristic analysis (P = 0.00426 for difference in AUC) in the UK replication and French samples combined. Conclusions: The plasma proteome informs prognosis beyond established factors in PAH and may provide a more sensitive measure of therapeutic response.

- Abstract
AimsTo develop a suite of quality indicators (QIs) for the evaluation of the care and outcomes for adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods and resultsWe followed the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) methodology for the development of QIs. This included (i) the identification of key domains of care for the management of PAH, (ii) the proposal of candidate QIs following systematic review of the literature, and (iii) the selection of a set of QIs using a modified Delphi method. The process was undertaken in parallel with the writing of the 2022 ESC/European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension and involved the Task Force chairs, experts in PAH, Heart Failure Association (HFA) members and patient representatives. We identified five domains of care for patients with PAH: structural framework, diagnosis and risk stratification, initial treatment, follow‐up, and outcomes. In total, 23 main and one secondary QIs for PAH were selected.ConclusionThis document presents the ESC QIs for PAH, describes their development process and offers scientific rationale for their selection. The indicators may be used to quantify and improve adherence to guideline‐recommended clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension occurs in a proportion of patients with prior acute pulmonary embolism and is characterised by breathlessness, persistently raised pulmonary pressures and right heart failure. Surgical pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) offers significant prognostic and symptomatic benefits for patients with proximal disease distribution. For those with inoperable disease, management options include balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and medical therapy. Current clinical practice relies on the evaluation of pulmonary haemodynamics to assess disease severity, timing of and response to treatment. However, pulmonary haemodynamics correlate poorly with patient symptoms, which are influenced by right ventricular tolerance of the increased afterload. How best to manage symptomatic patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) in the absence of pulmonary hypertension is not resolved.Right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PAC) describes the energy transfer within the whole cardiopulmonary unit. Thus, it can identify the earliest signs of decompensation even before pulmonary hypertension is overt. Invasive measurement of coupling using pressure volume loop technology is well established in research settings. The development of efficient and less invasive measurement methods has revived interest in coupling as a viable clinical tool. Significant improvement in RV-PAC has been demonstrated after both PEA and BPA. Further studies are required to understand its clinical utility and prognostic value, in particular, its potential to guide management in patients with CTEPD. Finally, given the reported differences in coupling between sexes in pulmonary arterial hypertension, further work is required to understand the applicability of proposed thresholds for decoupling in therapeutic decision making.

Rationale: Despite the increased recognition of TBX4 (T-BOX transcription factor 4)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), genotype-phenotype associations are lacking and may provide important insights. Objectives: To compile and functionally characterize all TBX4 variants reported to date and undertake a comprehensive genotype-phenotype analysis. Methods: We assembled a multicenter cohort of 137 patients harboring monoallelic TBX4 variants and assessed the pathogenicity of missense variation (n = 42) using a novel luciferase reporter assay containing T-BOX binding motifs. We sought genotype-phenotype correlations and undertook a comparative analysis with patients with PAH with BMPR2 (Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor type 2) causal variants (n = 162) or no identified variants in PAH-associated genes (n = 741) genotyped via the National Institute for Health Research BioResource-Rare Diseases. Measurements and Main Results: Functional assessment of TBX4 missense variants led to the novel finding of gain-of-function effects associated with older age at diagnosis of lung disease compared with loss-of-function effects (P = 0.038). Variants located in the T-BOX and nuclear localization domains were associated with earlier presentation (P = 0.005) and increased incidence of interstitial lung disease (P = 0.003). Event-free survival (death or transplantation) was shorter in the T-BOX group (P = 0.022), although age had a significant effect in the hazard model (P = 0.0461). Carriers of TBX4 variants were diagnosed at a younger age (P < 0.001) and had worse baseline lung function (FEV1, FVC) (P = 0.009) than the BMPR2 and no identified causal variant groups. Conclusions: We demonstrated that TBX4 syndrome is not strictly the result of haploinsufficiency but can also be caused by gain of function. The pleiotropic effects of TBX4 in lung disease may be in part explained by the differential effect of pathogenic mutations located in critical protein domains.

Funder: None, Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common but poorly defined and understood complication of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Little data are available on the medium term clinical outcomes of BPA complicated by ALI. We analyzed per-procedure data from 282 procedures in 109 patients and per-patient data from 85 patients. Serial right heart catheterization at baseline, after each BPA and at 3-month follow-up measured pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), and cardiac output (CO). ALI (ALI+) was identified by chest radiography alone (ALIr+) or in association with hypoxia clinically (ALIcr+). Procedural predictors of ALI and patient outcomes at 3-months were compared no ALI (ALI-). ALI+ occurred in 17/282 (6.0%) procedures (ALIcr+: 2.5%, ALIr+: 3.5%). Prevailing haemodynamics (PVR: p < 0.01; mPAP: p < 0.05) at a procedural and patient level, as well as number of BPA sessions (p < 0.01), total number of vessels (p < 0.05), and occlusions (p < 0.05) treated at a patient level predicted ALI+. Those with ALI had greater percentage improvement in ΔCAMPHOR symptoms score (ALI+: -63.5 ± 35.7% (p < 0.05); ALIcr+: -84.4 ± 14.5% (p < 0.01); ALI-: -27.2 ± 74.2%) and ΔNT-proBNP (ALIcr+: -78.4 ± 11.9% (p < 0.01); ALI-: -42.9 ± 36.0%) at follow-up. There was no net significant difference in haemodynamic changes in ALI+ versus ALI- at follow-up. ALI is predicted by haemodynamic severity, number of vessels treated, number of BPA sessions, and treating occlusive disease. ALI in this cohort was associated with a clinical advantage at follow-up.
