Plasma kinin concentration in deoxycorticosterone-salt hypertension.
We investigated the status of circulating kinins in rats with severe hypertension caused by drinking 1% NaCl (saline) and treatment with deoxycorticosterone (DOC, 25 mg/kg/wk s.c.) for 5 weeks. Saline-drinking rats treated with DOC had a higher systolic blood pressure (210 +/- 4 mm Hg) than did rats without DOC treatment drinking water (138 +/- 3 mm Hg) or saline (141 +/- 3 mm Hg). The concentr...
متن کاملpulmonary vascular capacitance as a predictor of vasoreactivity in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension tested by adenosine
conclusions cp could be considered as an index for the prediction of vasoreactivity in patients with ipah. prediction of long-term response to calcium channel blockers in patients with ipah and a positive vasoreactive test by this index should be addressed in further studies. patients and methods fourteen patients with ipah and a vasoreactive adenosine vasoreactivity testing according to the es...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
متن کاملPlasma thromboxane B2 concentration in pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease.
BACKGROUND We investigated the plasma concentration of thromboxane B2 (TXB2), a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), to assess platelet activation in 78 patients who had pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PH group) and 16 patients with almost normal hemodynamics (control group). METHODS AND RESULTS The PH group was divided into two subgroups: pulmonary vas...
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...
