Lung Capillary Stress Failure and Arteriolar Remodelling in Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Left Heart Disease (Group 2 PH)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Left heart diseases (LHD) represent the most prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH), yet there are still no approved therapies that selectively target the pulmonary circulation in LHD. The increase in pulmonary capillary pressure due to LHD is a triggering event leading to physical and biological alterations of the pulmonary circulation. Acutely, mechanosensitive endothelial dysfunction and increased capillary permeability combined with reduced fluid resorption lead to the development of interstitial and alveolar oedema. From repeated cycles of such capillary stress failure originate more profound changes with pulmonary endothelial dysfunction causing increased basal and reactive pulmonary vascular tone. This contributes to pulmonary vascular remodelling with increased arterial wall thickness, but most prominently, to alveolar wall remodelling characterized by myofibroblasts proliferation with collagen and interstitial matrix deposition. Although protective against acute pulmonary oedema, alveolar wall thickening becomes maladaptive and is responsible for the development of a restrictive lung syndrome and impaired gas exchanges contributing to shortness of breath and PH. Increasing awareness of these processes is unraveling novel pathophysiologic processes that could represent selective therapeutic targets. Thus, the roles of caveolins, of the intermediate myofilament nestin and of endothelial calcium dyshomeostasis were recently evaluated in pre-clinical models. The pathophysiology of PH due to LHD (group II PH) is distinctive from other groups of PH. Therefore, therapies targeting PH due to LHD must be evaluated in that context.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
