Echocardiography combined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing for the prediction of outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of exercise intolerance and outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The aim of the study was to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of echocardiography of the

Pulmonary venous remodeling in COPD‐pulmonary hypertension and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary Circulation, 2017 Pulmonary vascular arterial remodeling is an integral and well‐understood component of pulmonary hypertension (PH). In contrast, morphological alterations of pulmonary veins in PH are scarcely described. Explanted lungs (n = 101) from transplant recipients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary arterial ...
