Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an often-fatal vascular disease of unclear molecular origins. The pulmonary vascular remodelling which occurs in PH is characterised by elevated vasomotor tone and a pro-proliferative state, ultimately leading to right ventricular dysfunction and heart failure. Guided in many respects by prior evidence from cancer biology, recent investigations have identified metabolic aberrations as crucial components of the disease process in both the pulmonary vessels and the right ventricle. Given the need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for PH, the development or repurposing of metabolic tracers and medications could provide an effective avenue for preventing or even reversing disease progression. In this review, we describe the metabolic mechanisms that are known to be dysregulated in PH; we explore the advancing diagnostic testing and imaging modalities that are being developed to improve diagnostic capability for this disease; and we discuss emerging drugs for PH which target these metabolic pathways.
