Quercetin prevents progression of disease in elastase/LPS-exposed mice by negatively regulating MMP expression [PDF]
, 2010 Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic bronchitis, emphysema and irreversible airflow limitation. These changes are thought to be due to oxidative stress and an imbalance of proteases and antiproteases ...

Effect of left atrial compliance on pulmonary artery pressure: a case report
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006 Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with secondary atrial pressure elevation, is a well-known concept. On the contrary, effect of left atrial compliance on pulmonary pressure is rarely considered.

Magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary arterial compliance after pulmonary endarterectomy [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2020 In CTEPH patients who have undergone pulmonary endarterectomy, exercise capacity is better associated with changes in invasively measured pulmonary arterial compliance than with changes in magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary artery stiffnesshttp://bit.ly ...

Pulmonary arterial compliance and exercise capacity after pulmonary endarterectomy [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2014 Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), despite successful pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), can continue to suffer from a limitation in exercise capacity. The objective of this study was to assess whether pulmonary arterial compliance is a predictor of exercise capacity after PEA.Right heart haemodynamics, treadmill ...

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
, 2016 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...
