Pulmonary Complications of Congenital Heart Disease
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2012Cardiac 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.

The term “pulmonary heart disease” (PHD) is often used as synonymous with the World Health Organization’s (1961) definition of cor pulmonale: Hypertrophy of the right ventricle resulting from disease affecting the function and/or the structure of the lung, except when these alterations are the result of diseases that primarily affect the left side of

Vulnerability of Pulmonary Capillaries in Heart Disease
Circulation, 1995Abstract 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, 1967Summary 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.

Heart disease in patients with pulmonary embolism
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2010Several 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 ...

The electrocardiographic diagnosis of pulmonary heart disease
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1963Abstract The electrocardiogram in chronic pulmonary heart disease is fairly characteristic and can be explained on the basis of changes in the spatial orientation of the heart and of the insulating effects of overaerated lungs. A detailed analysis of the electrocardiogram in 20 patients with right ventricular hypertrophy secondary to chronic pulmonary
