Methodological Contributions about Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure
Another point with regard to the PASP measurement of the patients in this study was made of tricuspid regurgitant jet. At the same time, the mean tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity was 1.7 ± 0.5 m/s in the patient population. When this value was analyzed, it gave the impression that sufficient flow was not obtained over the tricuspid valve. For this reason, since guidelines recommend to use con...
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 ...
متن کاملEstimating mean pulmonary artery pressure from systolic pressure: a caveat?
I thank Drs. Hooper and Wilson for their comments on my article.1 I concur completely with Dr. Hooper’s sentiments. Dr. Wilson links conflicts that arise through a physician’s relationship with industry and a physician’s scientific interest in a topic (so-called academic conflict of interest). These issues have been conflated recently by physicians who have financial conflicts. The two are comp...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملSomething subtle about death: isolated systolic pulmonary pressure.
A revered senior colleague once said to me on my birthday, “Aging beats the alternative.” As the proportion of older adults among the world’s populations continues to increase, health assessment in “middle age” becomes increasingly important. Present guidelines from the American Heart Association with the American College of Cardiology recommend a global assessment of risk to prevent or delay t...
