Regional septal hinge-point injury contributes to adverse biventricular interactions in pulmonary hypertension

Regional septal hinge‐point injury contributes to adverse biventricular interactions in pulmonary hypertension

Death and morbidity in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are often due to right ventricular (RV) failure and associated left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We investigated regional myocardial remodeling and function as the basis for adverse ventricular-ventricular interactions in experimental chronic RV pressure overload. Two distinct animal models were studied: A rabbit model of increased R...

An Unwelcome Embrace: Adverse Pulmonary-Aortic Interactions in Pulmonary Hypertension.

Costophrenic septal lines in pulmonary venous hypertension.

PIROGRESS in the surgical management of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases has stimulated many branches of medicine. Roentgenology of the cardiov-as(ular system is one of the diagnostic fields that has profited by these advances. One of the interesting and curious findings in roentgenogramis of the thorax of patients with mitral heart disease has been the presence of fine, short, s...

Septal Defect and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension

SUCCESS in the surgical treatment of children who have large ventricular septal defects is dependent in part on the proper selection of patients for operation. The patients most deser-ving of such correction are those who have severe pulmonary hypertension, and it is in these that the decision to offer surgical intervention may present the greatest problems. The factors influencing the increase...
