Pulmonary hypertension in congenital shunts.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension frequently arises in patients with congenital heart disease. The vast majority present with congenital cardiac shunts. Initially these may manifest as left-to-right (i.e. systemic-to-pulmonary) shunts. The natural history of disease progression involves vascular remodeling and dysfunction that lead to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and, finally, to the d...
متن کاملPulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated with Congenital Portosystemic Shunts Treated with Transcatheter Embolization and Pulmonary Vasodilators.
Cardiopulmonary abnormalities are often present in patients with liver diseases. We herein report a case of congenital portosystemic shunts complicated by hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) and portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH). A 57-year-old woman complained of dyspnea and was subsequently diagnosed with HPS and PoPH caused by congenital portosystemic shunts. Although shunt closure by transcathet...
متن کاملPulmonary regurgitation in large atrial shunts without pulmonary hypertension.
Seven patients with pulmonary regurgitation (PR), normal pulmonary artery (PA) pressures and large left-to-right atrial shunts are reported. Six had secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) and one had anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. These comprised 4% of 180 patients with atrial shunts and normal PA pressures. Pulmonary regurgitation was diagnosed clinically by mid-frequency diastolic decresc...
متن کاملSevere pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital cardiac shunts: evolution under specific treatment
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Sildenafil, Bosentan and combined therapy in patients with congenital cardiac shunts associated pulmonary artery hypertension (CCS-PAH). Design: Prospective observational study (February 2011 - January 2014) with a historical control group (January 2009 - January 2011). Setting: "CC Iliescu" Institute for Emergency Cardiovascular Di...
متن کاملEvaluation of QRS, QTc, and JTc intervals in Congenital Heart Disease with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in congenital heart disease affects the patient’s prognosis. Prolonged QRS and QTc intervals in ECG may intensify life-threatening dysrhythmia in patients. We aimed to investigate the correlation between QRS, QTc, and JTc intervals prolongation in ECG with PH in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) patients. Mate...
