RV-pulmonary arterial coupling predicts outcome in patients referred for pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Prognosis in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is largely determined by RV function. However, uncertainty remains about what metrics of RV function might be most clinically relevant. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical relevance of metrics of RV functional adaptation to increased afterload. METHODS Patients referred for PH underwent right heart catheterisation and RV volu...
متن کاملTHE 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...
متن کاملThe Importance of Electrocardiography in Pediatric Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Follow- up
Background: Right Ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is an adaptive response to chronic RV pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension. We investigated the relationships between RV hypertrophy indicators, including electrocardiography, the percentage oxygen saturation (SaO2%), body mass index (BMI), and blood uric acid levels in patients with...
متن کاملWrist actigraphy predicts outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) impairs quality of life, exercise performance and survival. Simple measures to monitor the disease are needed. OBJECTIVES We tested whether actigraphy by a wrist-worn device in the patient's home reflects disease severity in PH patients. METHODS Twenty-three outpatients with pulmonary arterial and chronic thromboembolic PH (15 females), functional clas...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension and RV Failure
Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and the associated RV dysfunction is increasingly being encountered in the perioperative period. Managing these patients is challenging, but a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of PH and the associated RV dysfunction allows the practioner to anticipate, prevent and successfully manage many of the perioperative risks. The normal systolic, dia...
