Oxygenated hemoglobin (OxyHem) in arterial blood may reflect disease severity in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive value of OxyHem in SSc patients screened for pulmonary hypertension (PH). OxyHem (

Pulmonary Hypertension in Acute and Chronic High Altitude Maladaptation Disorders
Alveolar hypoxia is the most prominent feature of high altitude environment with well-known consequences for the cardio-pulmonary system, including development of pulmonary hypertension.

Prognostic impact of hypochromic erythrocytes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Background Iron deficiency affects up to 50% of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but iron markers such as ferritin and serum iron are confounded by several non-disease related factors like acute inflammation and diet.

The physiological basis of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare dyspnoea-fatigue syndrome caused by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and eventual right ventricular (RV) failure.

Abstract Symptoms of unexplained exertional breathlessness or symptoms out of proportion to coexistent heart or lung disease should alert the clinician to the possibility of pulmonary hypertension, and the condition should be actively sought in patients with known associated conditions, such as scleroderma, hypoxic lung disease, liver ...

Haemodynamic definitions and updated clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension
Since the 1st World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension (WSPH) in 1973, pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been arbitrarily defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg at rest, measured by right heart catheterisation. Recent data from normal

ERS statement on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare complication of acute pulmonary embolism, either symptomatic or not. The occlusion of proximal pulmonary arteries by fibrotic intravascular material, in combination with a secondary ...

The fundamental morphologic classification into plexogenic arteriopathy, thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary venous hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension associated with intrinsic lung disease and/or hypoxia, remains similar to the previous edition, but pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is now viewed as a part of pulmonary ...

The modern era in cardiopulmonary medicine began in the 1940s, when Cournand and Richards pioneered right-heart catheterization. Until that time, no direct measurement of central vascular pressure had been performed in humans. Right-heart catheterization ignited an explosion of insights into function and dysfunction of the pulmonary circulation ...
