Assessment of pulmonary vasoreactivity in children with pulmonary hypertension.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the current advance in understanding and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension in children, pulmonary vasoreactivity testing would navigate the treatment option. An inclusive review of the milestone studies and also recent literature over the last few years on the pulmonary vasoreactivity testing in children will provide the update on various available pulmonary va...
متن کاملHemodynamic effect of iloprost inhalation and oral sildenafil during acute vasoreactivity test in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND The vasoreactivity test is usually performed to identify pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients who may benefit from long-term calcium channel blocker (CCB). The first and most commonly used agent is intravenous epoprostenol. A few other agents such as intravenous adenosine and inhaled nitric oxide are also used. In Thailand, epoprostenol is not available and the others are c...
متن کاملRelationship of BMPR2 mutations to vasoreactivity in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND Vasoreactivity tests are fundamental in evaluating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Mutations of the transforming growth factor-beta type II receptor gene, BMPR2, predispose to the development of pulmonary hypertension and may alter the response to vasodilators. Previous investigations have not examined the relationship of BMPR2 mutations to vasoreactivity. METHODS AND RESULT...
