Statins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
متن کاملPulmonary function in pulmonary hypertension.
It has been shown by cardiac catheterization that an increased resistance to blood flow through the lungs occurs in four main conditions: (1) congenital heart disease with potential shunt, (2) mitral valve disease or left ventricular failure, (3) chronic lung disease, and (4) primary and thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although the burden of an increased pulmonary vascular resistance fal...
متن کامل[Lung function testing in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension].
OBJECTIVE The main objective was to describe the results of lung function testing in a series of 120 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, and the secondary objective was to compare these findings with hemodynamic variables. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a descriptive study of lung function in 120 patients with stable pulmonary arterial hypertension (Evian/Venice groups 1 and 4) stud...
متن کاملPulmonary function in advanced pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary mechanical function and gas exchange were studied in 33 patients with advanced pulmonary vascular disease, resulting from primary pulmonary hypertension in 18 cases and from Eisenmenger physiology in 15 cases. Evidence of airway obstruction was found in most patients. In addition, mean total lung capacity (TLC) was only 81.5% of predicted and 27% of our subjects had values of TLC less...
متن کاملPulmonary function in primary pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVES The study was done to ascertain the degree to which abnormalities in resting lung function correlate with the disease severity of patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). BACKGROUND Patients with PPH are often difficult to diagnose until several years after the onset of symptoms. Despite the seriousness of the disorder, the diagnosis of PPH is often delayed because it is...
