Pulmonary 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...
متن کاملAssessment of Right Ventricular Structure and Function in Pulmonary Hypertension
Right ventricular function plays an important role in determining cardiac symptoms and exercise capacity in chronic heart failure. It is known that right ventricle has complex anatomy and physiology. The purpose of this review paper is to demonstrate the best assessment of the right ventricle with current echocardiography. Echocardiography can assess sufficiently right ventricular structure and...
متن کاملImportance of Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Ventricular Function
Recent findings There is growing evidence that right ventricular function is a key determinant in survival in cardiac surgery, particularly in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The diagnosis of this condition is helped by the use of specific hemodynamic parameters and echocardiography. In that regard, international consensus guidelines on the echocardiographic assessment of right ventricula...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function in advanced heart failure.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequently encountered in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Both conditions aggravate prognosis and influence clinical decisions. Echocardiography is the screening tool of choice for pulmonary pressures and RV function, although invasive assessment of PH is necessary when advanced therapies are considered. Reversibi...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension and Indicators of Right Ventricular Function
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare disease, whose underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. It is characterized by pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction and vessels wall thickening, mainly intimal and medial layers. Several molecular pathways have been studied, but their respective roles remain unknown. Cardiac repercussions of PH are hypertrophy, dilation, and progressive right ventricu...
