Transpulmonary generation of cell‐free hemoglobin contributes to vascular dysfunction in pulmonary arterial hypertension via dysregulated clearance mechanisms

Abstract Circulating cell‐free hemoglobin (CFH) is elevated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and associated with poor outcomes but the mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that CFH is generated from the pulmonary circulation and inadequately cleared in PAH. Transpulmonary CFH (difference...
