Ambulatory Hemodynamic Monitoring in the Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Raymond L. Benza, MD Cardiovascular Institute Allegheny General Hospital Pittsburgh, PA Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, rise in pulmonary arterial pressures, and if left untreated, right heart failure. Invasive hemodynamic assessment with right heart catheterization (RHC) has been the gold standard for the diagnosis and serial...
متن کاملAmbulatory Hemodynamic Monitoring of Pulmonary Hypertension
Elevated pulmonary artery pressure, typically called “pulmonary hypertension (PH)”, may occur owing to several pathophysiological conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed 5 classifications of PH, primarily based on causality, in order to guide research and provide a framework for therapeutic intervention. The WHO group II PH is most common and characterized by a mean pulmonary a...

متن کاملPulmonary Arterial Hypertension: An Update
Introduction On first glance, a review of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a journal that focuses on the health of the elderly may seem out of place. PAH is typically envisioned as a progressively disabling disease in young females. However, PAH is not a disease restricted to the young. Indeed, 20% of the patients followed in our pulmonary hypertension clinic are over the age of 65. Alt...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial hypertension: an update
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as group 1 of the World Heart Organisation (WHO) classification of pulmonary hypertension, is an uncommon disorder of the pulmonary vascular system. It is characterised by an increased pulmonary artery pressure, increased pulmonary vascular resistance and specific histological changes. It is a progressive disease finally resulting in right heart fa...
