Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, leading to right heart failure and high mortality rates. Conventional treatments primarily include vasodilators, which provide symptomatic relief but do...
