Physiological predictors of resting pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD: a retrospective analysis

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2023
Background Resting pulmonary hypertension (PH) is not uncommon in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the current study, we aimed to identify physiological predictors of resting PH in patients with COPD.

Acute Hemodynamic Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Versus Alternative Pacing Strategies in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The hemodynamic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are uncharacterized. We aimed to quantify the hemodynamic effects of different ventricular pacing configurations in patients ...

Determinants of Body Mass Index in Early Systemic Sclerosis: Implications for Nutritional Risk Stratification

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can lead to malnutrition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Body mass index (BMI) remains the most widely used marker to screen nutritional status. We aimed to identify predictors of lower BMI in patients with SSc. Methods Patients with SSc from a prospective US cohort meeting 2013 American College of

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Sex Differences in Right Ventricular, Pulmonary Vascular, and Integrated Hemodynamic Measures of Cardiac Function in HFpEF and HFrEF

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Sex differences in clinical presentations of heart failure (HF) are pervasive, yet differences in invasive hemodynamic measures across HF subtypes remain incompletely characterized. Understanding these distinctions is critical, as sex‐specific

Comparison of Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels to Simultaneously Obtained Right Heart Hemodynamics in Stable Outpatients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Diseases, 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease that requires validated biomarkers of disease severity. While PAH is defined hemodynamically by right heart catheterization (RHC), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is recommended by guidelines
