1. A method of treating, preventing, or reducing the progression rate of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a polypeptide comprising a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) ligand binding domain of a TGF-β type II receptor and an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin, wherein the TGF-β ligand binding domain comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 63.
