Lowering Pulmonary Wedge Pressure after Heart Transplant: Pulmonary Compliance and Resistance Effect [PDF]

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
Background:Right ventricular (RV) afterload is an important risk factor for post-heart transplantation (HTx) mortality, and it results from the interaction between pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and pulmonary compliance (CPA).

Influence of advanced pulmonary vascular remodeling on accuracy of echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular filling pressure

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2021
Evaluation of left ventricular filling pressure plays an important role in the clinical management of pulmonary hypertension. However, the accuracy of echocardiographic parameters for the determination of left ventricular filling pressure in the presence

Decoupling Between Diastolic Pulmonary Artery and Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressures Is Associated With Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Hemocompatibility‐Related Adverse Events in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Decoupling between diastolic pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is an index of pulmonary vascular damage. This study assessed the impact of decoupling on right heart function and hemocompatibility‐related adverse ...

Simultaneous Measurement of Lung Diffusing Capacity and Pulmonary Hemodynamics Reveals Exertional Alveolar‐Capillary Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Hemodynamic perturbations in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may alter the distribution of blood in the lungs, impair gas transfer from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillaries, and reduce lung diffusing capacity.
