Drug Therapy in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) results from the obstruction of predominantly major pulmonary vessels by organized blood clots and is one of the causes of pulmonary hypertension. The disease is still underdiagnosed and the true prevalence is not clear. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics and current management of patients w...
متن کاملSevere Pulmonary Arteriopathy Is Associated with Persistent Hypoxemia after Pulmonary Endarterectomy in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by organized chronic thrombi. Persistent hypoxemia and residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) following successful pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) are clinically important problems; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We have previously reported that residual PH is cl...
متن کاملPulmonary endarterectomy in the management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a type of pulmonary hypertension, resulting from fibrotic transformation of pulmonary artery clots causing chronic obstruction in macroscopic pulmonary arteries and associated vascular remodelling in the microvasculature.Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) offers the best chance of symptomatic and prognostic improvement in eligible patients; i...
متن کاملChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a tribute to pulmonary endarterectomy.
O ur understanding of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), in terms of both its natural history and pathophysiology, has greatly improved since the landmark descriptions given by MOSER and BRAUNWALD [1] more than 40 yrs ago. At that time, small case series were available, depicting the clinical features of patients suffering from ‘‘long-standing thromboembolic pulmonary hypert...
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...
