Evaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
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 کاملHeritable pulmonary arterial hypertension with elevated pulmonary wedge pressure.
A 50-year-old man, who is an active smoker without a previous medical history, was admitted for recent dyspnea (New York Heart Association functional class III) and an episode of exertional syncope. His familial history included the sudden death of his mother at the age of 50. His blood pressure was 123/90 mm Hg; heart rate, 80 beats/min; peripheral oxygen saturation, 95%; and clinical examinat...

متن کاملAcute hemodynamic effects of adaptive servoventilation in patients with pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension
RATIONALE The hemodynamic effects of adaptive servoventilation (ASV) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are unknown. METHODS A series of clinically stable patients with pre- or post-capillary PH underwent ASV therapy (endexpiratory positive airway pressure support 12-14 cm H2O, pressure support 4-10 cm H2O) during right heart catheterization. Hemodynamics were measured at rest, at t...
