Prognostic impact of hypochromic erythrocytes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Background Iron deficiency affects up to 50% of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but iron markers such as ferritin and serum iron are confounded by several non-disease related factors like acute inflammation and diet.

Abstract Symptoms of unexplained exertional breathlessness or symptoms out of proportion to coexistent heart or lung disease should alert the clinician to the possibility of pulmonary hypertension, and the condition should be actively sought in patients with known associated conditions, such as scleroderma, hypoxic lung disease, liver ...

The modern era in cardiopulmonary medicine began in the 1940s, when Cournand and Richards pioneered right-heart catheterization. Until that time, no direct measurement of central vascular pressure had been performed in humans. Right-heart catheterization ignited an explosion of insights into function and dysfunction of the pulmonary circulation ...

The fundamental morphologic classification into plexogenic arteriopathy, thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary venous hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension associated with intrinsic lung disease and/or hypoxia, remains similar to the previous edition, but pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is now viewed as a part of pulmonary ...
