Survival in schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the natural history of untreated schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (Sch-PAH) patients as compared to idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) with respect to hemodynamics recorded at presentation and 36 months survival. BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis (Sch) is one of the most prevalent chronic infectious disea...
متن کاملPrognostic factors for survival in scleroderma associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Identification of prognostic factors for survival in systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) is necessary for appropriate monitoring, interventions, and timely referral for lung transplantation. Our objectives were (1) to identify factors associated with survival in SSc-PAH and (2) to evaluate the methodologic quality of prognostic studies against curre...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملImproving survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
M ore than 50 yrs ago, DRESDALE et al. [1] reported a series of 39 patients with unexplained pulmonary hypertension and coined the term ‘‘primary pulmonary hypertension’’ to describe the condition, a term that has been revised to ‘‘idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension’’ in the most recent classification [2].

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...
