Correlation Between Upper Airways Obstructive Indexes in Adenotonsilar Hypertrophy with Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure
Introduction: Hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids may cause upper airway obstruction and cardio-pulmonary complications due to pulmonary arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and selected adenotonsilar hypertrophy indexes. Materials and Methods: Thirty two patients with upper-airway obstruction resulting ...
متن کاملBilateral leg edema, obesity, pulmonary hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is usually due to an underlying cardiac or pulmonary condition. An association between unexplained pulmonary hypertension and bilateral leg edema in primary care patients was found previously. We undertook this study to identify the frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in ambulatory, adult patients with pulmonary hypertension who initially presented with ...
متن کاملClinical correlates of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Systolic Pressure To the Editor: In their study of echocardiographically normal subjects, Dr McQuillan et al demonstrated an independent association of age, male sex, and body mass index (BMI) with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASPs).1 The authors suggested that the correlation between increased BMI and increased PSAP may be attributable to an increased cardiac output in obese ...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea: is it clinically significant? A critical analysis of the association and pathophysiology.
The development of pulmonary hypertension is a poor prognostic sign in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and affects both mortality and quality of life. Although pulmonary hypertension in OSA is traditionally viewed as a result of apneas and intermittent hypoxia during sleep, recent studies indicate that neither of these factors correlates very well with pulmonary artery pressure. Hum...
متن کاملInflammatory aspects of sleep apnea and their cardiovascular consequences.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common medical condition that occurs in a considerable percentage of the population. Substantial evidence shows that patients with OSA have an increased incidence of hypertension compared with individuals without OSA, and that OSA is a risk factor for the development of hypertension. It is established that OSA may be implicated in stroke and transient ischemic...
متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that is characterized by obstructive apneas and hypopneas caused by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Risk Factors for OSA include patients with all 4 of the following symptoms and are considered to be at high risk for OSA: habitual snoring; observed apneas; excessive daytime sleepiness; and a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35....
