Ambulatory Hemodynamic Monitoring in the Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Raymond L. Benza, MD Cardiovascular Institute Allegheny General Hospital Pittsburgh, PA Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, rise in pulmonary arterial pressures, and if left untreated, right heart failure. Invasive hemodynamic assessment with right heart catheterization (RHC) has been the gold standard for the diagnosis and serial...
متن کاملAmbulatory Hemodynamic Monitoring of Pulmonary Hypertension
Elevated pulmonary artery pressure, typically called “pulmonary hypertension (PH)”, may occur owing to several pathophysiological conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed 5 classifications of PH, primarily based on causality, in order to guide research and provide a framework for therapeutic intervention. The WHO group II PH is most common and characterized by a mean pulmonary a...
متن کاملTHE EFFECTS OF CAPTOPRIL ON PULMONARY AND SYS TEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURES IN HIGHALTITUDE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...
متن کاملRecent Trends in the Management of Pulmonary Hypertension
Context. Pulmonary hypertension is a common clinical problem encountered in day-to-day practice. Drug therapy forms the backbone of management and appropriate drug selection is based upon the underlying causes. The options available are widening with availability of newer therapeutic agents and thus it becomes necessary to be updated with the recent developments. Objective. To review the existi...
متن کاملManagement of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common and may result from a number of disorders, including left heart disease, lung disease, and chronic thromboembolic disease. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon disease characterized by progressive remodeling of the distal pulmonary arteries, resulting in elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and, eventually, in right ventricular failure. Ov...
