A multidisciplinary Delphi study developed practical screening signals for pulmonary hypertension in patients with interstitial lung disease. The panel identified a combination of clinical symptoms and signs, CT and other imaging findings, oxygenation measures, BNP or NT-proBNP, and changes in pulmonary function or six-minute walk performance as useful triggers for further evaluation. The value of the paper is its real-world orientation: pulmonary hypertension in ILD can be easy to miss because worsening dyspnoea and exercise limitation may be attributed entirely to parenchymal lung disease. The consensus approach helps clinicians recognize when the clinical trajectory is disproportionate and should prompt focused assessment. For HCPs, the message is not that every patient needs routine invasive testing. Rather, a structured screening pathway can identify patients who warrant echocardiography and, when indicated, right-heart catheterization or specialist referral. This aligns closely with the conference’s session on pulmonary hypertension screening in progressive ILD and with its broader emphasis on using trends over time to detect clinically important change.

Recent research defines ferro-aging as a conserved iron-lipid axis driving organ decline across primates. Age-related iron dyshomeostasis stimulates ACSL4-mediated lipid peroxidation, promoting cellular senescence. Notably, vitamin C directly inhibits ACSL4, suppressing phospholipid oxidation and multi-organ decay.
