Therapeutic targeting of mineralocorticoid receptors in pulmonary hypertension: Insights from basic research
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and associated with adverse outcomes. In patients with PH, plasma aldosterone levels are elevated, suggesting that aldosterone and its receptor, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), play an important role in the pathophysi...
