Non-invasive algorithms for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed when mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) equals or exceeds 25 mmHg and the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is equal or lower than 15 mmHg. Because both parameters can only be derived from invasive hemodynamic assessment, right heart catheter (RHC) is still a gold standard for the diagnosis of PH. Severe precapillary PH correspo...
متن کاملDiagnosis, assessment, and treatment of non-pulmonary arterial hypertension pulmonary hypertension.
The 4th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension was the first international meeting to focus not only on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but also on the so-called non-PAH forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The term "non-PAH PH" summarizes those forms of PH that are found in groups 2 to 5 of the current classification of PH, that is, those forms associated with left heart disease, chr...
متن کاملA complex pulmonary vein varix -- diagnosis with ECG gated MDCT, MRI and invasive pulmonary angiography.
A case of an asymptomatic 32-year-old male with a complex congenital pulmonary vein varix is reported herein. Chest X-ray incidentally revealed a tubular opacity passing from the periphery of the left lingula to the mediastinum. ECG gated multidetector computed tomography showed the opacity to be a vessel emptying into the left atrium via the left superior pulmonary vein. In addition, a second ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of secondary (non-category 1) pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension occurs commonly in cardiopulmonary disease. In 1998, a new clinical classification was proposed that divided pulmonary hypertension into 5 categories on the basis of the presumed underlying etiology of the pulmonary vascular disease1 (Table 1). Although it was never intended that this classification be used as a guideline to determine appropriate therapy, somewhat surpris...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
