Noninvasive and accurate evaluation of cardiac output in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
nique and the patient’s enlarged heart geometry.5,6 In addition, echocardiography is not a monitoring device. Right heart catheterization (RHC) is a direct measurement of hemodynamic parameters7 and is a reliable tool for evaluating hemodynamic changes in PH patients. However, the frequent use of RHC is also limited by its invasiveness, infection risk, and expense.8 Therefore, a noninvasive tec...
متن کاملNoninvasive cardiac output measurements in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterised by a progressive decline in cardiac output (CO) and right heart failure. NICOM® (noninvasive cardiac output monitor) is a bioreactance-based technology that has been broadly validated, but its specific application in right heart failure and PH is unknown. Cardiac catheterisation was performed in 50 consecutive patients with PH. CO measurements were p...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
