Patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (APAH) experience poorer outcomes than those with idiopathic PAH (IPAH) [1–6]. In the USA, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are most commonly affected by CTD-APAH and have the worst survival [1]. Similarly, 74% of a large cohort with CTD-APAH in the UK had SSc, and these patients had poorer survival t...
متن کامل[Early diagnosis of connective tissue disease-related pulmonary hypertension].
It is known that prognosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), especially connective tissue disease related PH (CTD-PH), is serious. CTD-PH is caused by not only pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also interstitial pneumonitis, hypoxia, chronic thromboembolism of pulmonary artery, or left heart diseases. Recently, prognosis of PH is improved by progress of diagnostic measures including echocardio...
