Pulmonary Hypertension Secondary to COPD
The development of pulmonary hypertension in COPD adversely affects survival and exercise capacity and is associated with an increased risk of severe acute exacerbations. Unfortunately not all patients with COPD who meet criteria for long term oxygen therapy benefit from it. Even in those who benefit from long term oxygen therapy, such therapy may reverse the elevated pulmonary artery pressure ...
متن کاملThalassemia Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in both forms of thalassemia; thalassemia major (TM) and thalassemia intermedia (TI). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the cardiopulmonary morbidities with high mortality that, if not treated, may trigger right-sided heart failure and premature death. PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥25 mmHg at rest or ≥30 mmHg during exercise...
متن کاملSecondary pulmonary hypertension--diagnosis and management.
Secondary pulmonary hypertension (SPHtn) is generally attributable to abnormalities in structure or function of the heart or lung parenchyma. While often defined as a physiologic parameter, pulmonary hypertension (PHtn) can be a major contributor to death and disability in cardiopulmonary diseases. Both detection and management are a challenge. We will review the pathophysiology, diagnostic too...
متن کاملGiant pulmonary artery aneurysm secondary to primary pulmonary hypertension.
A 19-year-old woman with a 2-year history of progressive dyspnea, dull aching chest pain, and hoarseness was referred to our institution for clinical evaluation. Her general physical examination was normal. Auscultation revealed a palpable systolic impulse in the 2nd left anterior intercostal space and a grade 2/6 systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border. Her chest radiograph showed car...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension secondary to increased pulmonary vascular resistance
(PVR) is one of the most important determinants of operative morbidity and mortality as well as long-term survival after repair of a left-to-right shunt. We read with interest the paper of Talwar et al. [1] about the use of a unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for ventricular septal defect (VSD) correction in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The reported result looks very optimistic....
