Detection of right pulmonary artery thrombosis by two-dimensional echocardiography.
of an inadequate data base (the point of my column). I am sorry that the word "pressure" was inadvertently substituted for the word "resistance," but what has that to do with the relationship between pulmonary vasodilator treatment and patient outcome? To state that the level of PVR correlates in untreated patients with survival and, hence, to imply that reducing PVR by drugs improves survival,...
متن کاملPrimary pulmonary artery sarcoma diagnosed noninvasively by two-dimensional echocardiography.
A 21-year-old white male was evaluated in our echocardiographic laboratory for presumed mitral valvular bacterial endocarditis. Electrocardiographic, physical, and initial two-dimensional echocardiographic findings suggested a left-to-right shunt at the atrial septal level. However, injection of contrast saline solution failed to demonstrate signs of an atrial septal defect. Continuation of the...
متن کاملAssessment of pulmonary artery pressure by echocardiography—A comprehensive review
Pulmonary hypertension is a pathological haemodynamic condition defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥ 25 mmHg at rest, assessed using gold standard investigation by right heart catheterisation. Pulmonary hypertension could be a complication of cardiac or pulmonary disease, or a primary disorder of small pulmonary arteries. Elevated pulmonary pressure (PAP) is associated w...
متن کاملBanding of the pulmonary artery.
The results of banding of the pulmonary artery in 111 children with cardiac malformations associated with excessive pulmonary blood flow are presented. Thirty-three of these children died, eleven either of late band complications or after a corrective operation. Patients with ventricular septal defect represent the largest group of malformation among the 111 patients. The overall mortality for ...
