The right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a right heart failure syndrome. In early-stage PAH, the right ventricle tends to remain adapted to afterload with increased contractility and little or no increase in right heart chamber dimensions. However, less than optimal right ventricular (RV)-arterial coupling may already cause a decreased aerobic exercise capacity by limiting maximum cardiac outpu...
متن کاملPSEUDOANEURYSM OF RIGHT VENTRICLE DUE TO LOCALIZED TUBERCULOSIS OF MYOCARDIUM: A CASE REPORT
A 5-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital with chest pain, fever and dyspnea. Physical examination showed normal heart sounds, diminished pulmonary sounds in the left hemithorax and a normal ECG. On chest X-ray the heart was slightly enlarged with moderate left pleural effusion. CT scan revealed pleural effusion and a hypodense mass at the apex of the heart. A cystic mass was detected...
متن کاملThe right ventricle and the small pulmonary arteries in coalworkers.
In previous work (Thomas, 1951; James and Thomas, 1956), we have been made aware of some problems of pulmonary heart disease that needed further elucidation. Further consideration of the method of assessment of right ventricular hypertrophy and its relation to emphysema and pneumoconiosis when present, separately or together, was needed. Jaffe (1934), referred to the lesion of pneumoconiosis as...
متن کاملThe role of the right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right ventricular function, and right heart failure is the main cause of death in patients with PAH. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging allow noninvasive evaluation of right ventricular function and stru...
متن کاملDouble outlet right ventricle with pulmonary stenosis.
Although transposition of the great vessels is a well-known clinical and pathological entity, the partial transposition complex, resulting in the origin of both the aorta and the pulmonary trunk from the right ventricle, is rare. The association of this malformation with pulmonary stenosis has been described previously (Braun et al., 1952; Witham, 1957; Neufeld, DuShane, and Edwards, 1961; Morg...
