Lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy in pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis: a pattern to consider.
Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis is a rare disease, characterized by small capillaries proliferation, leading to pulmonary hypertension. The authors report a case of pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, and discuss its diagnostic difficulties. Special attention is presented to ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, given both its importance to the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension, and its r...
متن کاملThe Importance of Electrocardiography in Pediatric Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Follow- up
Background: Right Ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is an adaptive response to chronic RV pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension. We investigated the relationships between RV hypertrophy indicators, including electrocardiography, the percentage oxygen saturation (SaO2%), body mass index (BMI), and blood uric acid levels in patients with...

cytometry analysis of BAL cells. Table 1 integrates information given in our published paper, clearly demonstrating that the number of BAL neutrophils was fair in our case series. This unfortunately prevented a definitive evaluation of whether polymorph nucleates represent a source of IL-17. Nonetheless, as shown in figure 1, in selected cases with a significant number of BAL neutrophils (two s...

متن کاملHypoxemia in patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension
BACKGROUND The prevalence and prognostic implications of hypoxemia either at rest or during six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH or HPAH) have not been systemically studied. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the prevalence, phenotypic and prognostic implications of hypoxemia in patients with IPAH and HPAH. METHODS Patient...
