Pulmonary hypertension: basic concepts and practical management.
The simple reason is that the field moves at a rapid pace, which still seems to be accelerating instead of slowing down. Therefore, both researchers and clinicians are constantly faced with new pathophysiological concepts, new drugs and new therapeutic frontiers. The field of pulmonary hypertension is large and encompasses a broad range of diseases and conditions affecting hundreds of thousands...
متن کامل[Hyponatremia: basic concepts and practical approach].
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte imbalance in hospitalized patients. It is associated with several unfavorable endpoints such as: the need for intensive care, longer hospital stay, higher hospitalization costs, discharge to long-term care facilities, and mortality. It is still not clear if there is a direct causal relationship or if hyponatremia is simply a marker of disease severity...
متن کاملCurrent pathophysiological concepts and management of pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), increasingly recognized as a major health burden, remains underdiagnosed due mainly to the unspecific symptoms. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been extensively investigated. Pathophysiological knowledge derives mostly from experimental models. Paradoxically, common non-PAH PH forms remain largely unexplored. Drugs targeting lung vascular tonus became avai...
متن کاملPre - hypertension : Concepts and management
Subjects with “pre-hypertension”—adults with blood pressure (BP) ranging from 120–139 mmHg systolic and/or 80–89 mmHg diastolic—are at increased risk of future hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Adoption of healthier lifestyles in individuals with BP in this range might lower their BP, delay or prevent ...
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...
