Pulmonary hypertension in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
An increase in the number of preterm infants and a decrease in the gestational age at birth have resulted in an increase in the number of patients with significant bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH contributes significantly to the high morbidity and mortality in the BPD patients. Therefore, regular monitoring for PH by using echocardiography and B-ty...
متن کاملImpaired pulmonary vascular development in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the chronic lung disease associated with preterm birth, results from the disruption of normal pulmonary vascular and alveolar growth. Though BPD was once described as primarily due to postnatal injury from mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy after preterm birth, it is increasingly appreciated that BPD results from antenatal and perinatal factors that inte...
متن کاملPredictors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension in newborn children.
INTRODUCTION Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at high risk of developing cardiovascular sequelae in the form of pulmonary hypertension (PH) which significantly increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of BPD, to identify characteristics associated with BPD and to identify characteristics associated with PH in infants with BPD. MAT...
متن کاملAberrant Pulmonary Vascular Growth and Remodeling in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
In contrast to many other organs, a significant portion of lung development occurs after birth during alveolarization, thus rendering the lung highly susceptible to injuries that may disrupt this developmental process. Premature birth heightens this susceptibility, with many premature infants developing the chronic lung disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a disease characterized by arres...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension in Preterm Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES With the increasing survival of preterm infants, pulmonary hypertension (PH) related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has become an important complication. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and outcome of PH in preterm infants with BPD and to identify the risk factors for PH. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 116 preterm in...
