    abstract = "Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) initial evaluation and
follow-up, a rare and incurable disease if left untreated, is based on a
multiparametric approach (functional status of the patient, biomarkers,
hemodynamic parameters and imaging evaluation of right heart
impairment). Arterial stiffness (AS) and endothelial glycocalyx are
indices of systemic circulation. We present the 3-years follow-up of a
female IPAH patient. We propose aortic stiffness and endothelial
glycocalyx indices as non-invasive markers of either improvement or
deterioration of IPAH disease."
