Intravenous sildenafil in right ventricular dysfunction with pulmonary hypertension following a heart transplant
The objective of the present work is to describe the experience with intravenous (IV) sildenafil in heart transplant (HT) patients with reactive pulmonary hypertension (PH) who developed right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in the immediate postoperative period. The first 5 patients who received IV sildenafil followinga HT are presented. The HTs took place between March 2011 and September 2012 i...
متن کاملReversible pulmonary hypertension in heart transplant candidates--pretransplant evaluation and outcome after orthotopic heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Heart transplantation is the most effective treatment for well-selected patients with endstage heart failure. Unfortunately, transplant candidates with pulmonary hypertension (PHT) are often not considered for heart transplantation. This study was performed to assess the value of prostaglandin E(1) (PG-E(1)) for reduction of PHT and to predict the postoperative outcome, compared to p...
متن کاملCOMPLICATIONS se of Sildenafil in Heart Transplant Recipients With Pulmonary ypertension May Prevent Right Heart Failure
Purpose. We performed a short-term outcome analysis of orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) treated perioperatively with oral sildenafil. Methods. PH (pulmonary vascular resistance 2.5 Wood units, and/or transpulmonary gradient 12 mmHg) was diagnosed in 6 of 25 (group A) heart transplant recipients operated in 2006. This group of patients underwent...

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 کاملEvaluation of QRS, QTc, and JTc intervals in Congenital Heart Disease with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in congenital heart disease affects the patient’s prognosis. Prolonged QRS and QTc intervals in ECG may intensify life-threatening dysrhythmia in patients. We aimed to investigate the correlation between QRS, QTc, and JTc intervals prolongation in ECG with PH in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) patients. Mate...
