Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...

introduction: pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a late progressive sclerodermarelated complication, which can lead to right heart failure and cor pulmonale. given that cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic method of choice for pah, and considering the high risks of this method, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (pro‐b...

Introduction: Hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids may cause upper airway obstruction and cardio-pulmonary complications due to pulmonary arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and selected adenotonsilar hypertrophy indexes. Materials and Methods: Thirty two patients with upper-airway obstruction resulting ...

introduction underdevelopment of the lung parenchyma associated with abnormal growth of pulmonary vasculature in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia results in pulmonary hypertension which mandates smooth elective mechanical ventilation in postoperative period, for proper alveolar recruitment and oxygenation, allowing lungs to mature enough for its functional anatomy and physiology. d...

background pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a serious complication of unrepaired congenital left-to-right shunts. the final consequence is right ventricular (rv) systolic dysfunction and reversal of shunt. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and paraclinical findings in a group of patients with pah associated with congenital heart disease (pah-chd). we a...

Scimitar syndrome is characterized by partial or total anomalous pulmonary venous return from the right lung along with pulmonary hypoplasia.Wesearched the mail databases such as Medline (via PubMed), Scopus and EMBASE and Google Scholar. Diagnosing infantile scimitar syndrome requires meticulous attention and high suspicion of the early referral and management. The association of the syndrome ...

total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (tapvc) is an anomaly in which the pulmonary veins are directly connected to one of the systemic veins or drain into the right atrium. management of pulmonary hypertension after the total correction of this congenital cardiac anomaly is very important. unligation of the vertical vein in the supracardiac type of this anomaly can be a draining pathway f...
