Pulmonary hypertension: diagnostic and therapeutic challenges
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic and pathophysiologic state that can be found in multiple conditions with associated symptoms of dyspnea, decreased exercise tolerance, and progression to right heart failure. The World Health Organization has classified PH into five groups. The first group is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which can be idiopathic, heritable, due to drugs and ...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension: classification and diagnostic algorithm.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a group of diseases characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance leading to right ventricular failure and premature death. Recently, the diagnostic approach has been more clearly defined according to the new clinical classification and with consensus reached on algorithms of various investigative tests and procedure...
متن کاملNew potential diagnostic biomarkers for pulmonary hypertension.
This study aimed to determine whether the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family members soluble VEGF receptor 1 (also called soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)) and placental growth factor (PlGF) could be used as biomarkers for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterisation were enrolled (those with mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension: diagnostic approach and optimal management.
© 2016 Joule Inc. or its licensors CMAJ 1 Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious and progressive lung disease, defined by elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure. Affected patients are often disabled by symptoms of dyspnea, fatigue, syncope and chest pain, and they are at high risk of right ventricular failure and premature death. The prevalence of PH was estimated in one study at 97 cases p...
