Pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular function, and clinical outcome in acute decompensated heart failure.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction have been associated with adverse outcome in patients with chronic heart failure. However, data are lacking in the setting of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We sought to determine prognostic significance of PH in patients with ADHF and its interaction with RV function. METHODS We studied 326 patients with...
متن کاملRelationship between reactive pulmonary hypertension and mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
BACKGROUND In patients with heart failure, pulmonary hypertension (PH) predicts higher risk for morbidity and mortality. However, few data are available on the prognostic implications of reactive (precapillary) PH superimposed on passive (postcapillary) PH. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a subgroup analysis of 242 patients with acute decompensated heart failure assigned to pulmonary artery ...
متن کاملAcute Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is a common and life-threatening condition that requires prompt evaluation and management to improve outcomes. In severe cases, acute pulmonary thromboembolism causes a rapid rise in pulmonary pressures precipitating compromised right ventricular (RV) function. Acute elevation in pulmonary pressures with RV failure is associated with poor outcome. When pulmonary ...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملExperimental Acute Monolobar Pulmonary Hypertension †
Necrosis, fibrinoid changes, and cellular infiltrations of pulmonary arterioles have been observed, among other alterations, in extreme pulmonary arterial hypertension. Whether these lesions are the cause or the effect of the high pressure, whether they are the consequence of spasm, or whether they are produced by some other mechanism such as hypersensitivity, remains to be established. Certain...
