Angiosarcoma of the Heart Presenting as Pulmonary Disease

Chest, 1988
A 23-year-old man died from the pulmonary manifestations of cardiac angiosarcoma. The absence of all cardiac signs and symptoms was an unusual feature. The clinical outcome was rapidly fatal. Apparently, the presence of cardiac symptoms in a patient with primary cardiac angiosarcoma is not obligatory.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Gaps in Patients With Heart Failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

JACC. Heart failure, 2019
Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) coincide in a significant number of patients. Recent population-based registries suggest that spirometry is largely underused in patients with HF to diagnose comorbid COPD and that ...

Vulnerability of Pulmonary Capillaries in Heart Disease

Circulation, 1995
Abstract The pulmonary blood-gas barrier presents a dilemma. It must be extremely thin for efficient gas exchange. However, it also needs to be immensely strong because the stresses in the pulmonary capillary wall become extremely high when the capillary pressure rises.

Pulmonary hypertension in rheumatic heart disease

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1967
Summary The mechanism of pulmonary hypertension in mitral valve disease has been described and the effect of a high PVR on the natural history, symptoms, physical signs, electrocardiogram, radiologic findings and surgical prospects has been reviewed.

Pulmonary Hypertension and Congenital Heart Disease

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1973
Abstract Pulmonary hypertension occurs in patients with congenital heart disease and may be caused by increased volume of pulmonary blood flow or by anatomical changes in the pulmonary vasculature. Therefore, the determination of pulmonary vascular resistance expresses the status of the pulmonary vascular bed more accurately than does the level of the

Pulmonary hypertension in congenital heart disease

Nursing Standard, 2005
Over the past 40 years, significant advances have been made in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart defects. Improvements in diagnostic and interventional cardiology, surgical technique, cardiopulmonary bypass and post-operative intensive care have all contributed to a reduction in mortality and morbidity.

Pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease

Herz, 2019
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with left-sided heart disease, including valvular heart disease. In this context, elevated left atrial pressure primarily leads to the development of post-capillary PH.

Pulmonary Complications of Congenital Heart Disease

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2012
Cardiac and pulmonary pathophysiologies are closely interdependent, which makes the management of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) all the more complex. Pulmonary complications of CHD can be structural due to compression causing airway malacia or atelectasis of the lung.

Heart disease in patients with pulmonary embolism

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2010
Several heart diseases are promoters of left-side cardiac thrombosis and could lead to arterial embolism. The same mechanism may be responsible for right-side cardiac thrombosis and therefore be a direct source of pulmonary embolism.Yasuoka et al. showed a higher incidence of perfusion defects in lung scan in patients with spontaneous echocontrast in ...
