Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious disorder that worsens the course of chronic heart, lung or systemic diseases. However the need to discriminate PH, a pathophysiological condition, from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is a rare clinical condition, has been recently stressed [1]. PH is defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PĀP) > 25 mm Hg at rest, as ass...

Objective: Neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet (PLR) ratios play an important role in monitoring the progression of disease determining course patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE). This study aims determine whether there is any change NLR, PLR, C-reactive protein (CRP) APTE receiving thrombolytic therapy. Materials Methods: Sixty-five male shortness breath, chest pain, p...

OBJECTIVES The timing for mitral valve (MV) surgery in asymptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and preserved left ventricular (LV) function remains controversial. We aimed at analysing the long-term outcome of asymptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or pulmonary hypertension (PHT) after successful MV repair. METHODS From January 1992 to December 2012, 382 p...

Abstract Introduction Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and progressive disease with high morbidity mortality rate its prognosis critically affected by right ventricle (RV) dysfunction. Several studies have demonstrated that the presence of moderate-severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) associated poor in PAH. However, echocardiographic correlates impact on functional capacity signi...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): HEART PRESERVED onbehalf Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is now recognized as a major and growing public health problem worldwide. Clinical trials investigating different treatment strategies had disappointing results. Several biomarkers inflammati...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. PCWP measurement remains the gold standard for diagnosis Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction. Nevertheless, right heart catheterization (RHC) is a last step procedure nowadays, most patients diagnosed solely by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) parameters, as it widely available and not associated risks invasive proc...

Abstract Background The echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac output relies on the product flow across left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), estimated through its velocity time integral (LVOT-VTI), and cross-sectional area, formula πr2. Considering geometrical assumption behind such formula, LVOT-VTI has been proposed as a more reproducible surrogate systolic function showed prognostic value...
