THE EFFECTS OF CAPTOPRIL ON PULMONARY AND SYS TEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURES IN HIGHALTITUDE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...

Pulmonary valvotomv PULMONARY VALVULAR STENOSIS

Twenty children with pulmonary valvular stenosis were studied by cardiac catheterization both at rest and during submaximal supine exercise, prior to and following pulmonary valvotomy. The resting and exercise states were comparable preoperatively and postoperatively since cardiac output, heart rate, A V 02 difference and oxygen consumption were similar. Evidence of improved cardiac function wa...

Pulmonary valvular stenosis.

OBSTRUCTION to the outflow of blood from the right ventricle may occur as a result of congenital stenosis of the pulmonary valve, of the infundibulum, or of the supravalvular area. These all result in a fixed constriction of the lumen of the involved region. Recently, considerable interest has been focused upon a more dynamic type of infundibular obstruction that occurs in a number of patients ...
