Impact of the updated hemodynamic definitions on diagnosis rates of pulmonary hypertension
We evaluated whether updated pulmonary hypertension definitive criteria proposed in sixth World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension had an impact on diagnosis of overall pulmonary hypertension and pre-capillary and combined pre- and post-capillary ...

Right ventricular function in scleroderma-related pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has a poorer prognosis than that of other types of pulmonary hypertension. Recent echocardiographic and haemodynamic studies suggest that right ventriculer (RV) pump function and filling ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 7 in diagnosis and differentiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe disease for which diagnosis often is delayed. Matrix metalloproteinases have been suggested to play a role in vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension development. Our aim was therefore to investigate the

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

Anticoagulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a decision analysis
Systemic anticoagulation may be beneficial in pulmonary arterial hypertension, but there is no randomized clinical trial data to guide therapeutic decision making, and current guidelines do not account for patient preferences or quality of life. Decision

Right ventriculo–pulmonary arterial uncoupling and poor outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Right ventricular function critically affects the prognosis of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. We aimed to analyze the prognostic value of right ventricular indices calculated using magnetic resonance imaging and right heart ...
