Treatment effects for continuous variables were presented as weighted mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Ten clinical trials were identified and included for the meta-analysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We therefore designed the present study, which aimed at direct measurements of both pressure and permeability of the pulmonary capillaries in the early stages of HAPE. [circ.ahajournals.org]

• Opening Snap

  AT represents the interval from the opening snap of the pulmonary valve to peak systolic velocity, 26 and RVET is the interval between the opening snap of the pulmonary valve and closure in the Doppler spectrum. [doi.org]

• Suggestibility

  Recent interest in use of selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for pulmonary hypertension has suggested a possible role for these agents in the treatment of HAPH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  A review of the literature on the disease suggests that a wide range of strategies is employed for treatment purposes. [doi.org]

• Pulmonary Edema on Chest X-Ray

  His chest x-ray film at that time did not show evidence of pulmonary edema, despite an increased alveolar—arterial difference of 14 mm Hg. [doi.org]

Treatment options for this condition are unsatisfactory. Recent interest in use of selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for pulmonary hypertension has suggested a possible role for these agents in the treatment of HAPH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This review considers these issues in greater detail, examining the current state of research and clinical practice in HAPE treatment, addressing important questions raised by documented treatment practices, such as the utility of beta agonists, acetazolamide [doi.org]

However, as outlined in the 2014 WMS Practice Guidelines, its use is recommended for the treatment of people with concomitant HAPE and HACE at the treatment doses recommended for HACE alone. [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathogenesis of high-altitude pulmonary edema: inflammation is not an etiologic factor [published correction appears in JAMA. 2002;288(9):1064]. JAMA. 2002;287(17):2228–2235. 33. Voelkel NF. High-altitude pulmonary edema. [aafp.org]

Although several hypotheses regarding the cause of HAPE have been offered, the etiology of acute mountain sickness and HACE remains to be elucidated. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This paper reviews the epidemiological evidence for a genetic trait of the altitude-related illnesses, mainly HAPH, as well as the molecular evidence for the contribution of the specific candidate genes or pathways involved. [link.springer.com]

Discussing controversies and concepts in PH diagnosis and management, this guide explores: classification and epidemiology, pathology, pathogenesis, genetics, and diagnosis of PH causes of the condition, such as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [books.google.com]

A recent finding in early HAPE suggests that transmission of excessively elevated pulmonary artery pressure to the pulmonary capillaries leading to alveolar hemorrhage as the pathophysiologic mechanism of HAPE. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All invited speakers have presented their major research findings in the field of basic aspects of the pulmonary hypertension pathophysiology and the fundamental scientific issues concerning high altitude adaptation, followed by the lively discussion [sinogermanscience.org.cn]

A lower SaO 2 level and higher MAP are predictive of HAPE pathophysiology ( 30, 31 ). [pnas.org]

The observation that high-altitude pulmonary edema can be prevented by lowering pulmonary-artery pressure with nifedipine provides valuable information regarding the pathophysiology of the disease. [doi.org]

Rapid remodeling of the small precapillary arteries may prevent HAPE but increase pulmonary vascular resistance leading to pulmonary hypertension in long-term high altitude residents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The suggested rate of ascent is the same that applies to the prevention of acute mountain sickness and high-altitude cerebral edema. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevent AD by gradual ascent and use of acetazolamide. [merckmanuals.com]

Slow ascent is the most important measure to prevent the onset of altitude illness. [aafp.org]
