متن کاملPulmonary hypertension in hypoventilation syndromes.
In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, HELD et al. [2] report on 18 patients with severe pulmonary hypertension due to alveolar hypoventilation, who were markedly improved after 3 months of noninvasive bi-level positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV). Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were 50 mmHg and 6–7 Wood units, respectively, at baselin...

933 Heart Rate Variability in Sleep Related Alveolar Hypoventilation—Palma et al INTRODUCTION Sleep related alveolar hypoventilation (SRAH) is characterized by decreased alveolar ventilation resulting in sleep related oxygen arterial desaturation in patients with normal mechanical properties of the lung. SRAH can be distinguished from central and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by the fact that O...
متن کاملTreatment-related biomarkers in pulmonary hypertension.
Significant advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) over the last two decades have led to the introduction of multiple classes of oral therapy, but the disease remains devastating for many patients. Disease progression, in spite of oral monotherapy, is a major problem, and alternative therapy, such as infusion of prostacyclins, is cumbersome and carries considerable p...
متن کاملPulmonary function in kyphoscoliosis.
This investigation was part of a study of kyphoscoliosis. Its objective was to determine the functional alterations in the chest cage and lung. These problems have, as we indicate in a brief review, already aroused considerable interest. However, our approach has differed from that of most previous workers in several respects. Our patients were both children (Caro and Gucker, 1958) and adults. ...
