pulmonary arterial hypertension: a two-dimensional echocardiographic approach from screening to prognosis
an elevated pulmonary artery pressure (pap) from any cause is associated with increased mortality, especially in cases of primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah). one of the many reasons behind a bad prognosis is the inherent difficulty in assessing right ventricular (rv) function with reproducible methods. intensive research involving the left heart has made it relatively easy to assess ...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension: echocardiographic assessment.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a clinical condition characterized by elevated vascular resistance, associated with a poor prognosis and usually diagnosed in late stage. Echocardiographic assessment of PAH includes early disease detection and functional heart evaluation, in order to introduce a more accurate surveillance at an early stage of the disease and to contribute to prognostic ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic evaluation of pulmonary hypertension.
Echocardiographic studies of the pulmonary valve were obtained in 63 adults. Patients with normal pulmonary artery pressure (22 cases) showed an oblique position of the valve images in diastole, slow valve opening slopes (< 300 mm/see), sizable (> 2 mm) posterior displacement of the cusp echoes with atrial systole ('a' dip), and a relatively short right ventricular pre-ejection period. In contr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
متن کاملScreening for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Jeffrey D. Edelman, MD University of Washington Division of PCCM Seattle, WA Screening for disease before the arrival of symptoms is an intuitive cornerstone of preventive medicine and good clinical practice in many cases. However, screening is not appropriate for all conditions. Disease, test, and treatment should all be considered when developing a rational approach to screening. Specifically...
