Prognostication in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Use of Current Risk Prediction Models
Richa Agarwal, MD Allegheny General Hospital Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, Section of Advanced Heart Failure, Transplantation, Mechanical Circulatory Support, and Pulmonary Hypertension Pittsburgh, PA Significant therapeutic advances in the field of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), increased awareness and diagnosis, and changing patient demographics in the contemporary era have fac...
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 کاملPrognostication in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with Submaximal Exercise Testing
INTRODUCTION The submaximal exercise test (SET), which gives both a measure of exercise tolerance, as well as disease severity, should be a more robust functional and prognostic marker than the six-minute walk test (6MWT). This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of SET as predicted by the validated REVEAL (Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-Term Pulmonary Artery Hypertension Disease...
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...
متن کاملPulmonary Arterial Hypertension : Current Concepts
precapillary pulmonary resistance. Pulmonary hypertension is deemed present when the mean pulmonary artery pressure exceeds 25 mm Hg at rest, or 30 mm Hg with exercise. The presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension further requires normal left heart filling pressures (i.e. a normal left ventricular end diastolic pressure directly measured, or indirectly approximated by a pulmonary artery occl...
