THE EFFECTS OF CAPTOPRIL ON PULMONARY AND SYS TEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURES IN HIGHALTITUDE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...
متن کاملRV Dyssynchrony by Speckle Tracking Strain in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Will This Outcome Variable Take Root?
SEE PAGE 642 T he pressure overload of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) predisposes the right ventricle (RV) to hypertrophy, dilation, and reduced pump function. Alterations in RV functional indexes such as tricuspid annular plane excursion, fractional area change, and tissue Doppler myocardial velocity have been shown to have prognostic significance in PAH (1). With the advent of strain a...
متن کاملRV-pulmonary arterial coupling predicts outcome in patients referred for pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Prognosis in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is largely determined by RV function. However, uncertainty remains about what metrics of RV function might be most clinically relevant. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical relevance of metrics of RV functional adaptation to increased afterload. METHODS Patients referred for PH underwent right heart catheterisation and RV volu...
متن کاملPrevalence and Risk Factors of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Thalassemia Major Patients of Ilam, 2014
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Research has shown that PAH has a prevalence rate of 10-79% in thalassemia major patients. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2014 to determine the prevalence and risk factors of PAH in all thalassemia major patients of over 18 years of age in Ilam, Iran. A cardiologist measured sy...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension and RV Failure
Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and the associated RV dysfunction is increasingly being encountered in the perioperative period. Managing these patients is challenging, but a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of PH and the associated RV dysfunction allows the practioner to anticipate, prevent and successfully manage many of the perioperative risks. The normal systolic, dia...
