Pulmonary artery diameter to predict pulmonary hypertension in pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known complication of pulmonary sarcoidosis with a prevalence ranging from 5% to 74% [1]. The aetiology of PH in sarcoidosis is not fully understood. Usually, it is attributed to the destruction of the distal capillary bed by lung fibrosis and/or chronic hypoxaemia. However, the severity of PH does not correlate consistently with the degree of pulmonary fibrosis...
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 کاملPulmonary artery enlargement in schistosomiasis associated pulmonary arterial hypertension
BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (Sch-PAH) might represent the most prevalent form of PAH worldwide. In Sch-PAH, the presence of aneurismal dilation of the pulmonary artery has been described, although it is still a matter of debate whether on average the pulmonary artery is more enlarged in Sc-PAH than IPAH. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients w...
متن کاملFatal dissection of the pulmonary artery in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
A 41-yr-old patient with chronic stable idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) presented with sudden chest pain and unusual dyspnoea during physical exertion. The patient had been diagnosed with PAH at the age of 12 yrs and was in New York Heart Association functional class I/II. The patient was being treated with an anticoagulant regimen, low-dose diuretics and continuous intr...
متن کاملPulmonary artery distensibility index is a non-invasive useful marker of pulmonary arterial hypertension progression.
ulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mmHg at rest detected by right heart catheterization (RHC),1,2 is a fatal disease caused by small pulmonary artery obstruction as a result of vascular proliferation and remodeling.3,4 PAH is characterized by markedly elevated pulmonary artery pressure and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (...
