The NO/cGMP pathway represents a major physiological signalling controlling tone in pulmonary arteries (PA), and drugs activating this pathway are used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Kv channels expressed in PA smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are key determinants of vascular tone. We aimed to analyse the contribution of Kv 1.5 and Kv 7 channels in the electrophysiological and vasodilating effects evoked by NO donors and the GC stimulator riociguat in PA.
