Pathophysiology

This series of scientific illustrations portrays the pathophysiology of Pulmonary Hypertension and Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD). The first image depicts a diseased state contrasted with healthy lung tissue as PH-ILD develops.

Secondary pulmonary lobules are viewed in detail in both states, and mechanisms of action are shown at the molecular level. Many different cells and cytokines interact during disease progression, and the final illustration outlines possible ways to mitigate the effects.

These illustrations are used throughout UTC’s Global Medical Affairs digital and print communications and are being converted to animation for more dynamic and impactful storytelling.
