The development of pulmonary hypertension in COPD adversely affects survival and exercise capacity and is associated with an increased risk of severe acute exacerbations. Unfortunately not all patients with COPD who meet criteria for long term oxygen therapy benefit from it.

متن کاملPulmonary hypertension secondary to increased pulmonary vascular resistance
(PVR) is one of the most important determinants of operative morbidity and mortality as well as long-term survival after repair of a left-to-right shunt. We read with interest the paper of Talwar et al. [1] about the use of a unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for ventricular septal defect (VSD) correction in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The reported result looks very optimistic....
