Left ventricular dysfunction in patients with suspected pulmonary arterial hypertension*
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of right heart catheterization in the diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHODS We evaluated clinical, functional, and hemodynamic data from all patients who underwent right heart catheterization because of diagnostic suspicion of PAH--in the absence of severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), significant changes in pulmonary function tests, ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and management of pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is commonly seen in patients who present with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and is considered a marker of poor prognosis. While PH in this setting is thought to result from pulmonary venous congestion, there is a subset of patients in which pulmonary pressures fail to improve with appropriate management of diastolic heart failure and go on to develop ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease (PHVD) is characterized by progressive narrowing of pulmonary arterioles, abnormally high pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, left ventricular (LV) compression, and death in ≈25% to 60% of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) 5 years after diagnosis. Meanwhile, consensus statements have been developed in...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
