Exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is uncertain, and its existence has never been well studied by direct measurements of central hemodynamics. Using invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, we hypothesized that exercise-induced PAH represents a symptomatic stage of PAH, physiologically intermediate between resting pulmonary arterial hyp...
متن کاملExercise-induced pulmonary hypertension: at last!
Stress tests are for the identification of silent pathology. Applications to medical diagnosis are numerous. For example, ventilation (V′E) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) may overlap at rest, but markedly diverge during exercise in patients with pulmonary hypertension or heart failure and in healthy controls (figure 1). Accordingly, measurements of mPAP during exercise have been part...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.
W hile the seminal advance in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) over the past 2 decades has been pharmacological targeting of dysfunctional endothelium-derived pathways that contribute to the characteristic vascular remodeling of this condition irrespective of etiology (1), several novel interventional techniques have also been useful in selected patients. Atrial septostomy, ...
متن کاملDeterminants of exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (EIPH) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) has already been observed but its determinants remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and the determinants of EIPH in SSc. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively enrolled 63 patients with SSc (age 54±3years, 76% female) followed in CHU Sart-Tilman in Liège. All patients u...
متن کاملRelationships between exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension and nocturnal desaturation.
This important observation prompted us to report here the results of a prospective study that we conducted during the 1990s, which has only been published in abstract form [2]. Nine male COPD patients with mild hypoxaemia at rest (six current and three ex-smokers) were included in the study (age: 66.9¡5.8 yrs, forced expiratory volume in one second/ forced vital capacity: 43.2¡15.5% predicted, ...
