Ambulatory pulmonary artery pressure monitoring in advanced heart failure patients
Heart failure (HF) is an emerging epidemic associate with significant morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. Although there were major advances in pharmacologic and device based therapies for the management of HF, mortality of this condition remains high. Accurate monitoring of HF patients for exacerbations is very important to reduce recurrent hospitalizations and its associated co...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Outcomes in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with heart failure (HF) is associated with worse outcomes and is rapidly being recognized as a therapeutic target. To facilitate pragmatic research efforts, data regarding the prognostic importance of noninvasively assessed pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in stable ambulatory patients with HF are needed. METHODS AND RESULTS We exami...
متن کاملPulmonary artery pressure variation in patients with connective tissue disease: 24 hour ambulatory pulmonary artery pressure monitoring.
BACKGROUND The specific contribution of secondary pulmonary hypertension to the morbidity and mortality of patients with underlying lung disease can be difficult to assess from single measurements of pulmonary artery pressure. We have studied patients with secondary pulmonary hypertension using an ambulatory system for measuring continuous pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). We chose to study pati...
متن کاملAmbulatory pulmonary artery pressure monitoring during sleep and exercise in normal individuals and patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication of chronic obstructive airways disease (COPD) and its presence implies a poor prognosis. However, it is difficult to measure and its specific contribution to symptoms is difficult to quantify. A micromanometer tipped pulmonary artery catheter was used to measure pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during sleep and on exercise. METHODS Ten...

cialist at UCLA Medical Center and assistant clinical professor at the UCLA School of Nursing in Los Angeles, Calif. A variety of backrest positions may be used that do not compromise the accuracy of measurements of pulmonary artery pressure. Backrest elevations of 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60° with the patient supine (back flat against bed surface) do not affect the accuracy of measurements of pulmona...
