Beyond the shunt: Divergent insights from hyperoxia testing and contrast echocardiography in adults with pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstract Our objective was to evaluate the agreement between hyperoxia test (HT) and contrast transthoracic echocardiography (CE) for shunt detection in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and unexplained hypoxemia. We retrospectively collected data from consecutive hypoxemic PH patients over a 2‐year period. The tests were conducted sequentially,

Lung ultrasound in systemic sclerosis: correlation with high-resolution computed tomography, pulmonary function tests and clinical variables of disease [PDF]
, 2015 Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Although high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the gold standard to diagnose ILD, recently lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged in SSc patients as a new promising technique ...
