Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension in children

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2005
Until recently, the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension was virtually a death sentence, particularly for children. Although there is no cure for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, recent medical advances have dramatically changed the course of this disease in children.

Pulmonary Lymphoid Neogenesis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2012
Abstract Rationale Patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) present circulating autoantibodies against vascular wall components. Pathogenic antibodies may be generated in tertiary (ectopic) lymphoid tissues (tLTs).

Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Misdiagnosed as Asthma

Journal of Asthma, 2007
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a rare disorder that is progressive and often leads to right heart failure if left untreated. Because of the vague nature of symptoms at presentation, IPAH may take several months to diagnose. The most common presenting complaint in patients with IPAH is dyspnea with exertion, which is also commonly ...

Relationship of pulmonary arterial capacitance and mortality in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
The purpose of this study was to determine if pulmonary vascular capacitance predicts survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).The prognosis of patients with IPAH is difficult to predict, despite knowledge of clinical and hemodynamic parameters previously identified as predictors.We proposed a capacitance index of ...

Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Childhood

Cardiology in Review, 2010
The introduction of new medicines to treat pulmonary vascular disease has renewed interest in the management of children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. We now have a practical classification of pulmonary hypertension, improved diagnostic techniques, and internationally recognized diagnostic and management guidelines.

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension with coexisting CHD

Cardiology in the Young, 2018
AbstractSinus venosus atrial septal defect can result in an increase in pulmonary blood flow and vascular resistance, leading to pulmonary hypertension. Rarely, the degree of pulmonary hypertension is out of proportion to the degree of intra-cardiac shunting.

Iron Deficiency in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014
Iron deficiency has been reported to be highly prevalent in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) patients, with the potential to influence cardiac performance, pulmonary artery pressures and the pulmonary vascular response to hypoxia.Iron status was evaluated in 29 iPAH patients, and was related to haemodynamic, echocardiographic and ...

Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions
ABSTRACT Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life‐threatening condition characterized by significantly elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and resistance. While targeted drugs can alleviate symptoms, their long‐term efficacy is limited, and treatment is often associated with notable side effects and financial burden ...

Idiopathic and Familial Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

2010
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, fatal disease that is defined hemodynamically. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is short, with death usually due to progressive right ventricular hypertrophy and right heart failure. PAH results from vasoconstriction and structural alterations to the pulmonary vasculature.
