Left ventricular dysfunction in patients with suspected pulmonary arterial hypertension*
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of right heart catheterization in the diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHODS We evaluated clinical, functional, and hemodynamic data from all patients who underwent right heart catheterization because of diagnostic suspicion of PAH--in the absence of severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), significant changes in pulmonary function tests, ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease (PHVD) is characterized by progressive narrowing of pulmonary arterioles, abnormally high pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, left ventricular (LV) compression, and death in ≈25% to 60% of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) 5 years after diagnosis. Meanwhile, consensus statements have been developed in...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
متن کاملPulmonary diffusing capacity in left ventricular dysfunction.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are any consistent spirometric or Dsb findings in patients with LV dysfunction characterized by a clinical diagnosis of CHF and an EF less than 40 percent. We performed spirometry and Dsb in 34 patients, and found that EF correlated only with Dsb. When we separated the patients into those with rales and those without, Dsb correlated stron...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction with pulmonary hypertension: Part 1: epidemiology, pathophysiology, and definitions.
T he worsening heart failure (HF) epidemic and the associated healthcare costs pose a major burden to public health and the healthcare system. 1 Despite significant therapeutic advances, outcomes for patients with HF remain sub-optimal. 2–4 Importantly, most clinical trials with novel agents in HF during the past decade have yielded neutral or modest results. 5 The reasons for these unfavorable...
