Quality of life in pulmonary arterial hypertension
sion is likely if the velocity is more than 3.4 m/s (estimated systolic PAP > 50 mmHg) with or without additional variables [2]. Both underestimation and overestimation of the estimated systolic PAP frequently occur. PAH is a debilitating and progressive disease with a tremendous psychosocial and economic impact for patients. A high prevalence of anxiety and depression (up to 40 %) is reported ...

cytometry analysis of BAL cells. Table 1 integrates information given in our published paper, clearly demonstrating that the number of BAL neutrophils was fair in our case series. This unfortunately prevented a definitive evaluation of whether polymorph nucleates represent a source of IL-17. Nonetheless, as shown in figure 1, in selected cases with a significant number of BAL neutrophils (two s...
متن کاملA case of severe pulmonary hypertension associated with common arterial trunk and VSD in a 9 years old child
Background: Common arterial trunk (CAT) is a rare congenital heart disease, and often leads to the early development of pulmonary hypertension and disability. Among the critical structural heart defects, the frequency of CAT is 3%, which reflects the severe hemodynamic disturbances. The natural course of the disease is characterized by a high mortality rate up to 88% during the first year of li...
متن کاملQuadriceps muscle fibre dysfunction in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Despite improvements in disease targeted therapies, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease and PAH patients remain symptomatic [1]. Exercise intolerance is one of the main symptoms, which limit PAH patients in their daily life activities. Reduced exercise capacity is generally attributed to right ventricular dysfunction [1]. However, as with other cardiac and pulmonary d...
