Oxidative stress is associated with increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure in humans.
Oxidative stress contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension in experimental models, but this association in humans is unknown. We investigated the relationship between pulmonary artery systolic pressure measured by echocardiography and plasma aminothiol oxidative stress markers, with the hypothesis that oxidative stress will be higher in those with pulmonary hypertension. A group ...
متن کاملPulmonary dysfunction in cystic fibrosis is associated with oxidative stress.
The aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the circulating concentration of antioxidants, or markers of oxidative stress, and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis patients. Plasma was obtained from 34 patients attending a cystic fibrosis clinic. Oxidative stress was investigated by measuring the concentrations of circulating lipid hydroperoxides and malondiald...

Another point with regard to the PASP measurement of the patients in this study was made of tricuspid regurgitant jet. At the same time, the mean tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity was 1.7 ± 0.5 m/s in the patient population. When this value was analyzed, it gave the impression that sufficient flow was not obtained over the tricuspid valve. For this reason, since guidelines recommend to use con...
متن کاملClinical correlates of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Systolic Pressure To the Editor: In their study of echocardiographically normal subjects, Dr McQuillan et al demonstrated an independent association of age, male sex, and body mass index (BMI) with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASPs).1 The authors suggested that the correlation between increased BMI and increased PSAP may be attributable to an increased cardiac output in obese ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure in Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Background:Cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) is a useful method of modifying cardiovascular risk factors, improving life expectancy and quality of life in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LV...
