Statins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
متن کاملPulmonary function in pulmonary hypertension.
It has been shown by cardiac catheterization that an increased resistance to blood flow through the lungs occurs in four main conditions: (1) congenital heart disease with potential shunt, (2) mitral valve disease or left ventricular failure, (3) chronic lung disease, and (4) primary and thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although the burden of an increased pulmonary vascular resistance fal...
متن کامل[Lung function testing in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension].
OBJECTIVE The main objective was to describe the results of lung function testing in a series of 120 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, and the secondary objective was to compare these findings with hemodynamic variables. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a descriptive study of lung function in 120 patients with stable pulmonary arterial hypertension (Evian/Venice groups 1 and 4) stud...
متن کاملRegional lung function in scoliosis.
Radioactive xenon-133 was used to study the pattern of regional lung function in 35 scoliotic patients and 10 normal subjects in the sitting posture. The scoliotic curves were classified into three anatomical sites: high, if the apical vertebra was located between Thl and Th5; mid, between Th6 and ThlO; and low, between Thll and L4; only the primary curve was considered and in 70% of the patien...
متن کاملRegional lung function in kyphoscoliosist
Young patients with idiopathic kyphoscoliosis are often symptom-free and remain so until middle age, when those with severe deformity may become breathless on exertion and develop respiratory or, less often, cardiac failure. Kyphoscoliosis is, by definition, primarily a disorder of the spine, but the consequent rotation of the thorax and the distortion of the trunk may be severe, especially if ...
