PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION [PDF]
Annals of Medicine, 2006 Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease of the small pulmonary arteries characterized by vascular narrowing and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, which eventually leads to right ventricular failure. Vasoconstriction, vascular proliferation, remodeling of the pulmonary vessels, and thrombosis are all contributing factors to the increased ...

Hidden pulmonary arteries in tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary artery pressure in patients operated with a pulmonary artery [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021 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 ...

Pulmonary artery denervation for pulmonary arterial hypertension
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Pulmonary arterial hypertension remains a progressive, life-limiting disease despite optimal medical therapy. Pulmonary artery denervation has arisen as a novel intervention in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, and other forms of pulmonary hypertension, with the aim of reducing the sympathetic activity of the pulmonary circulation.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2013 Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and progressive disease leading to right heart failure and ultimately death if untreated. The first classification of PH was proposed in 1973. In 2008, the fourth World Symposium on PH held in Dana Point (California, USA) revised previous classifications.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Breathe, 2005 Key pointsPAH is defined by RHC showing a pre-capillary PH.Clinical suspicion of PH should arise in the case of symptoms such as dyspnoea without overt signs of specific heart or lung disease.RHC is required to confirm the diagnosis of PAH, to assess the severity of the haemodynamic impairment and to test the vasoreactivity of the pulmonary circulation.

Reconstruction of the Pulmonary Artery [PDF]
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006 Sleeve resection and prosthetic reconstruction of the pulmonary artery have progressively gained acceptance as an alternative to pneumonectomy in lung cancer surgery. Previous concern was mainly related to technical difficulties, intraoperative and postoperative complications, lack of long-term survival, and impact on cardiopulmonary function. For this

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Medicina, 2007 Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a life-threatening, progressive disorder of pulmonary blood vessels leading to an increase in pressure in pulmonary artery. Diagnosis is based on a mean pulmonary artery pressure of more than 25 mmHg at rest or more than 30 mmHg during exercise. No cure exists for it yet.

Fatal dissection of the pulmonary artery in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2009 A 41-yr-old patient with chronic stable idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) presented with sudden chest pain and unusual dyspnoea during physical exertion. The patient had been diagnosed with PAH at the age of 12 yrs and was in New York Heart Association functional class I/II.

The pulmonary valve and the pulmonary artery [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2009 A 65-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of a progressive dyspnoea. On physical examination, there was a mild diastolic murmur over the pulmonary area and the electrocardiogram was normal. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed an aneurysmatic dilation of the pulmonary artery trunk (diameters of 59 mm × 55 …
