Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a heterogenic
group of devastating disorders that characterizes higher rates of
mortality and morbidity worldwide. Recent clinical studies have
shown that clinical features, hemodynamic parameters,
echocardiography patter, multi-spiral computer tomography
findings, exercise capacity, and anti-nuclear antibody profiles
could be used as predictors of clinical severity and outcomes in
PAH patients. However, the reliability, sensitivity, specificity and
predictive value are derived from PAH patients with different
comorbidities and specific complications associated with CTD,
congenital heart disease and respiratory disease might be
unacceptable. The aim of the review: to summarize the
knowledge regarding predictive value of several biomarkers in
PAH individuals. The review is argued the perspective to utilize
single sample and serial measurements of biomarkers as a
regulatory peptide contributed in PAH pathogenesis aimed to
improve prediction of PAH development and progression.
