Pulmonary Diseases and the Heart [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2007
The complex nature of interactions between the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems is becoming increasingly appreciated. Pulmonary vascular abnormalities are frequently present in patients with respiratory disorders, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, neuromuscular or chest wall disorders, and ...

MicroRNAs in pulmonary arterial remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pulmonary arterial remodeling is a presently irreversible pathologic hallmark of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This complex disease involves pathogenic dysregulation of all cell types within the small pulmonary arteries contributing to vascular ...

Comorbidities Associated with Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm has become increasingly important owing to demographic changes. Some other diseases, for example, cholecystolithiasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hernias, seem to co-occur with abdominal aortic ...

Progressive pulmonary hypertension in cyanotic congenital heart disease with severe pulmonary stenosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We report the progressive development of pulmonary hypertension despite the presence of severe pulmonary stenosis in three patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease. The associated intracardiac lesions were complete transposition with a ventricular

Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage in a 60-year-old woman diagnosed in an ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography : a case report and review of literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (TAPVD) is a congenital cardiac defect in which there is no connection between pulmonary veins and the left atrium.

A stepwise composite echocardiographic score predicts severe pulmonary hypertension in patients with interstitial lung disease

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2018
European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines recommend the assessment of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), as defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥35 mmHg at right heart catheterisation (

Epoprostenol Therapy for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevation of pulmonary artery pressure caused by pulmonary vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling, which leads to right heart failure and death.

Adult congenital heart disease: Past, present, future

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2020
The diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease (CHD), the most common inborn defect, has been a tremendous success story of modern medicine. In the 1950s survival of children born with CHD was only approximately 15%, whereas nowadays more than ...

Pulmonary Hypertension in Congenital Heart Disease [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Cardiology, 2018
Pulmonary hypertension is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥25 mmHg. We focus on its relevance in congenital heart disease, reviewing pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. Pulmonary hypertension is a relatively common complication of congenital heart disease, with adult prevalence between 5 and 10%.
