The Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Pressure in Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Background:Cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) is a useful method of modifying cardiovascular risk factors, improving life expectancy and quality of life in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LV...
متن کاملThe Estimation of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure in Normal Pregnancy
Objective: To assess the effects of various stages of pregnancy as well as pregnant women age on the level of pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Methods: One hundred and thirty five healthy pregnant women, aged 18 to 42 years, were included in this study. They underwent voluntary transthoracic echocardiogram measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest. Three groups of pregnant w...
متن کاملAcute Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure
Background: Acute effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) [including continuous PAP (CPAP) and adaptive servo-ventilation, an advanced form of bi-level PAP] on functional mitral regurgitation (fMR) in patients with heart failure (HF) with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction remain unclear. Thus, whether PAP therapy reduces fMR in such patients with HF was investigated. Methods and Resu...
متن کاملImpact of mitral valve annuloplasty on mortality risk in patients with mitral regurgitation and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess effects of mitral valve annuloplasty (MVA) on mortality in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. BACKGROUND Mitral valve annuloplasty improves hemodynamics and symptoms in these patients, but effects on long-term mortality are not well established. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive p...
متن کاملClinical correlates of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
Systolic Pressure To the Editor: In their study of echocardiographically normal subjects, Dr McQuillan et al demonstrated an independent association of age, male sex, and body mass index (BMI) with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASPs).1 The authors suggested that the correlation between increased BMI and increased PSAP may be attributable to an increased cardiac output in obese ...
