Haemodynamics, exercise capacity and clinical events in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to clarify whether changes in cardiopulmonary haemodynamics induced by pharmacological therapy correlate with exercise capacity and clinical events in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. 16 randomised trials including 2353 patients, followed up for 16.4±10.6 weeks, measuring cardiopulmonary haemodynamics by right heart catheterisation and reporting clini...
متن کاملPulmonary Function Tests in Hypertension
Background: Many studies have shown that Hypertension is a chronic disease affecting many organs in the body. However, very few studies have been done to analyze the association between lung function and hypertension. It must be considered that antihypertensive treatment might have an effect on lung function, too. With this background the study was undertaken. Objectives: To assess and compare ...
متن کاملEffects of nebulised iloprost on pulmonary function and gas exchange in severe pulmonary hypertension.
Nebulised iloprost is established therapy of severe pulmonary hypertension; however, the effects on the bronchoalveolar compartment have not been investigated so far. We studied the short- and long-term effects of nebulised iloprost on pulmonary function tests and gas exchange in 63 patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (idiopathic n=17, chronic thromboembolism n=15, connective tissue dis...

متن کاملLoss of alveolar membrane diffusing capacity and pulmonary capillary blood volume in pulmonary arterial hypertension
BACKGROUND Reduced gas transfer in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is traditionally attributed to remodeling and progressive loss of pulmonary arterial vasculature that results in decreased capillary blood volume available for gas exchange. METHODS We tested this hypothesis by determination of lung diffusing capacity (DL) and its components, the alveolar capillary membrane...
