Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Heart Dysfunction in Chronic Lung Disease
Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of chronic lung disease (CLD), including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, and sleep-disordered breathing. Development of PH is associated with poor prognosis and may progress to right heart failure, however, in the majority of the patients with CLD, PH is mild to moderate and only a small number...
متن کاملRight ventricular diastolic function in chronic obstructive lung disease.
Early detection of diastolic dysfunction in chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) patients could have great prognostic value. Echocardiography has been shown to be a useful technique in studying left ventricular diastolic function. A noninvasive method of studying right ventricular diastolic function has not yet been reported. Pulsed Doppler echocardiography was used to assess right ventricul...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Dysfunction and Failure in Chronic Pressure Overload
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is the main cause of death in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our understanding of the pathophysiology of RV dysfunction is limited but improving. Methods to better diagnose RV dysfunction earlier and treatments specifically designed to minimize or reverse the remodeling process are likely to improve outcomes. We review the current understanding of RV d...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiographic signs to differentiate between chronic lung disease and right ventricular dysfunction in a child with calcified pericardium.
A 7 year-old girl was admitted with history of low-grade fever, weight loss and occasional cough for the last 6 months. Tuberculosis was suspected, for which antituberculous treatment was initiated. Chest X-ray demonstrated calcification of the pericardium with chest miliary shadowing. CT chest was done showing very fine sharply defined miliary nodularity throughout both lungs without mediastin...
