Abstract
During early-stage pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the right ventricle (RV) undergoes anatomical adaptation in the form of a thickened RV free wall, and material adaptation in the form of altered passive stiffness and contractility. The early-stage compensatory adaptations may help to preserve cardiac output but can later evolve into maladaptive remodelling and organ failure. The transition from compensatory to detrimental remodelling remains poorly understood.
