Right Atrial Function in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
BACKGROUND Elevated right atrial (RA) pressure is an established prognostic measure in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, little is known about perturbations in RA function in PAH. METHODS AND RESULTS Reservoir (RA longitudinal strain [RA LS]), conduit (RA early LS rate), and active (RA late LS rate) phases were assessed by 2D speckle tracking in 65 patients with PAH, 6-minute wa...
متن کاملPulmonary function differences in patients with chronic right heart failure secondary to pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic left heart failure
BACKGROUND Pulmonary abnormalities are found in both chronic heart failure (CHF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The differences of pulmonary function in chronic left heart failure and chronic right heart failure are not fully understood. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated 120 patients with stable CHF (60 with chronic left heart failure and 60 with chronic right heart failure). All ...
متن کاملRight heart function during simulated altitude in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
OBJECTIVE Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are often recommended supplemental oxygen for altitude travel due to the possible deleterious effects of hypoxia on pulmonary haemodynamics and right heart function. This includes commercial aircraft travel; however, the direct effects and potential risks are unknown. METHODS Doppler echocardiography and gas exchange measures were ...

متن کاملThe 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...
