The prevalence of right to left shunt in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with increased pulmonary hypertension
Background: One of the important etiologies for cryptogenic stroke is paradoxical embolization secondary to Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Foramen ovale can secondarily reopen due to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) which is common among the older age. PAH is known as a frequent and life threatening complication of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PFO between COP...
متن کاملContrast Enhanced Echocardiography for Detection of Intrapulmonary Shunts in Liver Transplant Candidates
Background: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities associated with liver cirrhosis may result in intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to use contrast enhanced echocardiography to detect intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis candidates for liver transplantation. Methods: One hundred and two adult patients underwent contrast e...
متن کاملفشار خون ریوی با سطح سرمی ناتری یورتیک پپتید نوع B (BNP) و میزان شانت چپ به راست براساس یافته های اکوکاردیوگرافی در کودکان مبتلا به بیماری های مادرزادی قلبی
Background & Objective: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is one of the common complications of congenital heart diseases in children. The natriuretic peptides such as BNP, ANP and NT-Pro BNP are secreted in response to atrial and/or ventricular stretch. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between pulmonary hypertension with BNP serum level and the quantity of left to righ...
متن کاملPartial pressure of oxygen is lower in the left upper pulmonary vein than in the right in adults with atrial septal defect: difference in P(O2) between the right and left pulmonary veins.
BACKGROUND The right-to-left shunt at the atrial level is responsible for arterial hypoxemia in patients with atrial septal defect. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the mechanism of arterial hypoxemia in patients with atrial septal defect by measuring the P(O2) in both the right and left upper pulmonary veins. SUBJECTS AND METHOD We prospectively measured the P(O2) in the femoral artery a...
