Pediatric pulmonary hypertension: insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 is a novel marker associated with disease severity and survival


Listen Later

Pediatric Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by sustained elevation of pulmonary arterial pressures and death from right ventricular failure. Given the extremely high burden of morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, and the risk of the invasive procedures required for diagnostics, novel biomarkers for this disease would be beneficial. In this episode, we meet Early Career Investigator, Dr. Megan Griffiths from Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, who examined two candidate IGF axis proteins as potential predictors of PAH severity.
