The present invention herein discloses potent synergistic compositions of vasoactive mediators enhancers for improving vascular endothelial function. Particularly, the invention relates to synergistic nutritional composition comprising exogenous blend of N.sup.1-methyl nicotinamide chloride and standardized red spinach extract enriched with nitrate content along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein N.sup.1-methyl nicotinamide salt and standardized red spinach extract enriched with nitrate content are present in the ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:8; and N.sup.1-methyl nicotinamide chloride and nitrate of standardized red spinach extract, are present in the ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:1. The present synergistic composition is useful for treating endothelial dysfunction such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, heart injury.

The present invention relates to a method for inducing production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The method includes administering, to an individual, a composition including adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying a hPGIS gene coding for human prostacyclin synthase (hPGIS) which synthesizes prostaglandin I.sub.2 (PGI.sub.2).

The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension using combination therapy. The combination therapy comprises a compound that increases BMPR2 signaling (BMPR2 activator) in combination with at least one other agent for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. In certain aspects, the BMPR2 activator can be tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, salt, or prodrug thereof.
