Age-related upper limits of normal for maximum upright exercise pulmonary haemodynamics.
The exercise definition of pulmonary hypertension was eliminated from the pulmonary hypertension guidelines in part due to uncertainty of the upper limits of normal (ULNs) for exercise haemodynamics in subjects >50 years old.The present study, therefore, evaluated the pulmonary haemodynamic responses to maximum upright incremental cycling exercise in consecutive subjects who underwent an invasi...
متن کاملPrognostic value of exercise pulmonary haemodynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value of right heart catheterisation variables measured during exercise. 55 incident patients with idiopathic, familial or anorexigen-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) underwent right heart catheterisation at rest and during exercise and 6-min walk testing before PAH treatment initiation. Patients were treated according to re...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY EXERCISE Sex-related dilferences in the normal cardiac response to upright exercise
In previous studies from this laboratory, we found that approximately 30% of women with chest pain and normal coronary arteries demonstrated either a decrease in or a failure to increase radionuclide ejection fraction during exercise. To examine the hypothesis that this apparent abnormality in left ventricular function represents a physiologic difference between men and women, we prospectively ...
متن کاملupper limits of normal aminotransferases in children of southern iran
background alanine aminotransferase (alt) level is the most common diagnostic test used for detection of liver damage; however in the past few years some studies have questioned the normal aminotransferase range in adults and have suggested its revision. objectives in this study, we assessed the upper limit of alt and aspartate transaminase (ast) in a healthy population of iranian children. pat...
متن کاملRelationship between exercise desaturation and pulmonary haemodynamics in COPD patients.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has traditionally been explained as an effect of hypoxaemia. Recently, other mechanisms, such as arterial remodelling caused by inflammation, have been suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate whether exercise-induced PH (EIPH) could occur without concurrent hypoxaemia, and whether exercise-indu...
