Association of PET-measured myocardial flow reserve with echocardiography-estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known complication of HCM and is a strong predictor of mortality. We aim to investigate the relationship between microvascular dysfunction measured by quantitative PET and PH in HCM patients.MethodsEighty-nine ...

Pulmonary artery size as a predictor of outcomes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
IPF patients have heightened propensity for pulmonary hypertension, which portends a worse outcome. Presence of pulmonary hypertension may be reflected in an enlarged pulmonary artery.

A rare case of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect with right-sided aortic arch
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart malformation in which a lack of continuity between ventricles and the pulmonary artery is accompanied by ventricular septal defect.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Significant advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have occurred over the last 10 years, starting with the approval of epoprostenol in 1998. Subsequently, multiple additional medications have received approval, including a subcutaneous prostacyclin, an inhaled prostacyclin, and oral medications in 2 separate classes.

Transthoracic Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Objective— Pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by progressive pulmonary vascular remodeling and persistently elevated mean pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance. We aimed to investigate whether transthoracic pulmonary artery denervation (TPADN) attenuated pulmonary artery (PA) remodeling ...

Pseudotumors due to pulmonary infarction [PDF]
The preferred treatment of pulmonary infarction is nonoperative when the diagnosis can be established. In the present study, five cases are described in which failure of resolution or growth of a radiographic density resulted in eventual thoracotomy and ...

Three-dimensional echocardiography and 2D-3D speckle tracking imaging in chronic pulmonary hypertension. diagnostic accuracy in detecting hemodynamic signs of RV failure [PDF]
Background and objective. Our aim was to compare three-dimensional (3D) and 2D and 3D speckle tracking (2D-STE, 3D-STE) echocardiographic parameters with conventional right ventricular (RV) indexes in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH ...

Fetal heterotaxy with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and isomerism of the right atrial appendages at 22 weeks. [PDF]
We report the accurate prenatal diagnosis at 22 weeks gestation of right atrial isomerism in association with tricuspid atresia. Several distinctive sonographic features of isomerism of the right atrial appendages were present in this fetus: complex ...
