More pressure on pulmonary hypertension.
PH describes a group of devastating diseases, comprising idiopathic and associated/secondary forms, which cause breathlessness, loss of exercise capacity and death due to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and subsequent right heart failure [1]. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined by an elevation of the mean pulmonary artery pressure above 25 mmHg at rest and/or 30 mmHg during exer...
متن کاملSex and Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Introduction: Female sex is a risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), yet women have better survival than men. We sought to determine if sex was associated with baseline hemodynamics in subjects with PAH, and whether age modified these relationships. Material and Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis from 11 randomized trials submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary function in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
The effects ofpulmonary hypertension on cardiopulmonary function were investigated by ventilatory, haemodynamic, and metabolic studies at rest and during exercise. The studies were carried out in 12 patients with primary, thromboembolic, or residual pulmonary hypertension after surgical closure of intracardiac defects, and in II patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to obstructive lung...
متن کاملPulmonary capillary pressure in pulmonary hypertension
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary capillary pressure (PCP), together with the time constants of the various vascular compartments, define the dynamics of the pulmonary vascular system. Our objective in the present study was to estimate PCPs and time constants of the vascular system in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), and compare them with these measures in patients with acu...
متن کاملPulmonary hemodynamics and right ventricular function in hypertension.
Pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in 16 hypertensive subjects (group I) with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (ECG and echo criteria) and in 17 hypertensive subjects with ECG signs of LV strain (group II), were compared with those in 14 normal individuals. An augmented pulmonary arteriolar resistance (PAR) in group I and to a larger extent in group II accounted for the pulmonary pressure ele...
