<h4>Rationale</h4>Shorter survival in heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH), often due to BMPR2 mutation, has been described in association with impaired right ventricle (RV) compensation. HPAH animal models are insulin resistant, and cells with BMPR2 mutation have impaired fatty acid oxidation, but whether these findings affect the RV in HPAH is unknown.<h4>Objectives</h4>To test the hypothesis that BMPR2 mutation impairs RV hypertrophic responses in association with lipid deposition ...[more]
