Prognostic Relevance of Changes in Exercise Test Variables in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
INTRODUCTION Exercise variables determined in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) at the time of diagnosis, predict survival. It is unknown whether upon treatment, subsequent changes in these exercise variables reflect improvements in survival. The aim of this study was to determine changes in exercise variables in PAH patients and to relate these changes to survival. METHODS ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of exercise pulmonary haemodynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value of right heart catheterisation variables measured during exercise. 55 incident patients with idiopathic, familial or anorexigen-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) underwent right heart catheterisation at rest and during exercise and 6-min walk testing before PAH treatment initiation. Patients were treated according to re...
متن کاملChanges in exercise haemodynamics during treatment in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Improvement in exercise capacity may not be associated with significant changes in resting pulmonary haemodynamics. The present prospective study documented the relationships between improvement in 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and changes in resting and exercise pulmonary haemodynamics after treatment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). A total of 42 IPAH patien...
متن کاملTowards prognostic biomarkers in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
T he most reliable way to assess the clinical impact of a therapeutic intervention in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is through its effect on well-defined clinical end-points, such as mortality. However, this standard is often impractical because of the long period and large number of patients required to reach these clinical end-points, and substitutes, such as the 6-min walking distanc...
متن کاملTHE 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...
