Background: Although an adopted echocardiography algorithm based on tricuspid regurgitation jet peak velocity and suggestive findings for pulmonary hypertension has been utilized in the non-invasive prediction of pulmonary hypertension probability, the ...

Hidden pulmonary arteries in tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary artery pressure in patients operated with a pulmonary artery [PDF]
Abstract Introduction The absence of a pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs isolated or with other congenital cardiac disorders, particularly tetralogy of Fallot (TOF); meanwhile, a hidden pulmonary artery might exist and originate from a closed ductus arteriosus (DA), which can be stented to reach ...

Hemodynamic trajectories and outcomes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
The relative pulmonary to systemic pressure ratio (mean pulmonary arterial pressure/mean arterial pressure) has been proven to be valuable in cardiac surgery.

The isobaric pulmonary arterial compliance in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is associated with stiffening of pulmonary arteries which increases right ventricular pulsatile loading. High pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) in postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (Pc-PH) further decreases pulmonary ...

A multiscale model of vascular function in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by recurrent or unresolved pulmonary thromboemboli, leading to perfusion defects and increased arterial wave reflections. CTEPH treatment aims to reduce pulmonary arterial pressure and reestablish adequate lung perfusion, yet patients with distal lesions are inoperable by standard surgical

Pulmonary arterial pulse pressure and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
In the Framingham studies, systemic arterial pulse pressure correlated linearly with morbidity and mortality. Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction and pulmonary circulation stiffening result in abnormalities of pulmonary arterial (PA) pulse pressure in PA hypertension (PAH).

We report the case of a 58‐year‐old female with severe postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (averaged mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 49 mmHg, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure 29 mmHg, and right atrial pressure 8 mmHg) due to heart failure with ...

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 ...
