Hepatocyte growth factor plays a particular role in progression of overall cardiac damage in experimental pulmonary hypertension.

Conclusion: We suggest that cardiac overexpression of Hgf might contribute to increased plasma HGF in MCT-induced PH. HGF could be exploited as a cardiospecific biomarker and HGF/MET pathway as a target in drug discovery for PH. PMID: 31337959 [PubMed - in process]
