Echocardiographic predictors of outcome in eisenmenger syndrome.
BACKGROUND Eisenmenger syndrome differs significantly from other types of pulmonary arterial hypertension in its physiology and prognosis. We sought to assess the relationship between the echocardiographic characteristics of patients with Eisenmenger syndrome and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical and echocardiographic variables were assessed in 181 consecutive patients with Eisenmenger ...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial wall thickness in Eisenmenger Syndrome: Prospective, cross-sectional, controlled clinical trial.
BACKGROUND The aim of current study is to investigate echocardiographic pulmonary artery wall thickness (PAWT) association with angiocardiography, echocardiography, and biochemical findings and to demonstrate its predictive role in morbidity of disease. METHOD Nineteen patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome (ES) (13 females; a mean age of 12.0 ± 4.1 [min-max 4-17] years) and 24 (16 females; a mea...
متن کاملWorsening in oxygen saturation and exercise capacity predict adverse outcome in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate (1) changes in clinical, biochemical and echocardiographic parameters, (2) whether deterioration in exercise capacity and resting oxygen saturation (SatO2-rest) are related with adverse outcome and (3) its additional value in predicting outcome in Eisenmenger patients. METHODS Seventy-seven (36 ± 14 years, 30% male) patients were included and prospectively followed. Cha...
متن کاملDown patients with Eisenmenger syndrome: is bosentan treatment an option?
BACKGROUND Favorable results of treatment with bosentan in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome are available. However, data in Down patients are lacking. In this study, we evaluate the therapeutic role of bosentan treatment in Down patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. METHODS In this open-label study, 24 Down patients (>18 years) with Eisenmenger syndrome (17 males) were treated with bosentan. ...
متن کاملAssessment of the Physiological Adaptations to Chronic Hypoxemia in Eisenmenger Syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Eisenmenger syndrome is characterized by severe and lifelong hypoxemia and pulmonary hypertension. Despite this, patients do surprisingly well and report a reasonable quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these patients undergo adaptation of their skeletal and cardiac muscle energy metabolism which would help explain this paradox. DESIGN AND SETTING Ten p...
