Clinical correlates of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Systolic Pressure To the Editor: In their study of echocardiographically normal subjects, Dr McQuillan et al demonstrated an independent association of age, male sex, and body mass index (BMI) with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASPs).1 The authors suggested that the correlation between increased BMI and increased PSAP may be attributable to an increased cardiac output in obese ...
متن کاملRole of right heart catheterization.
especially in medical patients with respiratory failure. Because of these data limitations, we do not believe that undue reliance on formulas and guidelines alone will prevent nutritional complications. Our case report illustrated the problem ofweaning difficulties due to nutritionally associated hypercapnia in a patient population not commonly thought to be susceptible to this problem. We feel...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Doppler Echocardiography and Right Heart Catheterization Derived Pulmonary Artery Pressures: Impact of Right Atrial Pressures.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between Doppler echocardiography (DE) and right heart catheterization (RHC) derived pulmonary artery pressures and to assess the impact of right atrial (RA) pressures on this correlation. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Cardiology Department, Tahir Heart Institute, Chenab Nagar, from June 2013 to December 2014....
متن کاملLarge left segmental pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm after right heart catheterization: successful percutaneous closure combined with balloon mitral valvotomy.
A 76-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic mitral valve disease, with severe stenosis and mild regurgitation, was admitted to our hospital in New York Heart Association class IV congestive heart failure, 2 months after an uneventful right heart catheterization was performed at another medical center. Chest x-rays showed pulmonary congestion and a large, dense, round image of 5 cm in diamet...
متن کاملHaemoptysis after Pulmonary Artery Catheterization
Sir,—The use of distraction and compression rods in the treatment of scoliosis was originally described by Harrington (1962). One of the complications of this operation is paraplegia, with a reported frequency of 0.1% (Harrington, 1971). To prevent this complication, patients are wakened during operation to check the voluntary motor power of the limbs. A variety of wake-up techniques has been d...
