In the hands of ohm: hemodynamic aspects in pulmonary hypertension 2019 (English) Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic) Abstract [en] Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one of the most challenging diseases in terms of health care demand [diva-portal.org]

It is well-known that pulmonary alveolar diffusion is impaired in patients with congestive heart failure. Gas transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TLco) is reduced in this population compared to controls ( 25 ). [frontiersin.org]

The lung biopsy showed chronic granulomatous inflammation. With surgery a pedunculated mass was found in the left atrium, and removed. [jamanetwork.com]

A housewife 29 years of age complained of increasing dyspnea, productive cough, and wheezing respiration. A characteristic murmur of mitral stenosis was noted. [jamanetwork.com]

Exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and/or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, anginal chest pain typically on exertion, palpitations, dry cough, pre-syncope and/or syncope, hepatomegaly, ascites, elevated jugular venous pressure, and peripheral edema are the most [frontiersin.org]

These questions are the focus of an interesting study by Thenappan and colleagues 5 in this issue of Circulation: Heart Failure. [ahajournals.org]

None of the patients had systolic left heart failure. One hundred and forty-six patients (36%) had PH and served as a control group. PVH patients presented with higher mPAP, right atrial mean pressure and lower pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). [academic.oup.com]

Thus, there might be lower amounts of lung oedema for the same level of pulmonary venous hypertension in chronic with respect to acute left heart failure conditions. [oxfordmedicine.com]

B: heart failure and mild "passive" pulmonary hypertension. C:advanced heart failure and severe"reactive" pulmonary hypertension. [revespcardiol.org]

The pulmonary function studies with arterial oxygen determinations suggested the diagnosis of interstitial fibrosis; and catheterization of the right heart revealed pulmonary vascular hypertension. [jamanetwork.com]

PAH is suggested when an echocardiogram-derived estimate of pulmonary arterial systolic pressure exceeds 40 mm Hg at rest. [rcemlearning.co.uk]

The authors' data suggest that we should think twice in that scenario. [ahajournals.org]

Conclusion: A PAcT 90ms is strongly suggestive of increased PVR ( 3.0 WU). Based on study 1, there is clear evidence suggesting that these findings apply irrespective of LVFPs. [diva-portal.org]

PH” do in fact have elevated PA pressures, as defined by current criteria. 1 With increasing recognition of the prevalence and importance of PH in HF and pulmonary disease, it will be important to use precise, easily understood terminology to avoid confusion [ahajournals.org]

Finally, a RV end-diastolic diameter to LV end-diastolic diameter ratio (measured in the 4-chamber apical view at the tips of the atrioventricular valves) 1 and the absence of pericardial effusion seem to be more likely in PH-LHD than PAH ( 20 ). [frontiersin.org]
