Transforming growth factor-beta receptor mutations and pulmonary arterial hypertension in childhood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a potentially fatal vasculopathy that can develop at any age. Adult-onset disease has previously been associated with mutations in BMPR2 and ALK-1.

Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia-Associated Pulmonary Hypertension Treated with Pulmonary Vasodilators—The Pediatric Cardiologist Point of View

open access: yes, 2021
Pulmonary hypertension in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD-PH) significantly worsens the prognosis. Pulmonary vasodilators are often used in BPD-PH but the short-term outcome of treatment is not well described.

Non-Invasive Pulmonary Artery Wave Intensity Analysis in Pulmonary Hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pulmonary wave reflections are a potential hemodynamic biomarker for pulmonary hypertension (PH) and can be analyzed using wave intensity analysis (WIA). In this study we used pulmonary vessel area and flow obtained using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

Unique Pulmonary Hypertensive Vascular Diseases Associated with Heart and Lung Developmental Defects

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Although pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) shares features and mechanisms with adult PH, there are also some significant differences between the two conditions.

Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension

open access: yes, 2023
Pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic condition characterized by an increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure more than 20 mmHg measured with right heart catheterization. Pulmonary hypertension can be caused by a large variety of diseases and is subdivided into five different classes.

Pulmonary Hypertension as a Complication of Pediatric Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Pediatric Health, 2021
Pediatric cancer is a life threatening disease known to create multi-organ complications that further compromise medical management affecting patient morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is becoming more recognized as a complication of cancer and its therapies but has not been well characterized in pediatrics. Cancer pathophysiology can

Neurohormonal modulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension

open access: yes, 2021
Pulmonary hypertension is a fatal condition of elevated pulmonary pressures, complicated by right heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension appears in various forms; one of those is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is particularly characterized by ...

Distinct Platelet Ribonucleic Acid Signatures in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

open access: yes, 2022
Rationale: Pulmonary hypertension encompasses progressive disorders leading to right ventricular dysfunction and early death. Late detection is an important cause of poor clinical outcomes.

Left ventricular torsion rate and the relation to right ventricular function in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2018
The right ventricle and left ventricle are physically coupled through the interventricular septum. Therefore, changes in the geometry and mechanics of one ventricle can directly affect the function of the other.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Pulmonary Pressures and Right Ventricular Function after Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Simple Approach for the Intensivist

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2017
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed using cardiac catheterization and is defined as an elevation of mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) greater than 25 mmHg.
