Exercise PH — measured by the mPAP/CO slope — may predict survival in patients with normal or mildly elevated pulmonary arterial pressure.

China: A new meta-analysis published in BMC Pulmonary Medicine found that pulmonary rehabilitation in mechanically ventilated ...

FAPI PET—can detect the first signs of tissue remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), providing ...

These findings suggest that within defined limits friction across the pulmonary vascular bed is so small that a state of pressure equilibrium exists at the end of diastole. When the limits are met ...

An imaging technique called 18F-FAPI PET may be able to detect early signs of changes in blood vessel tissues in PAH, a new ...

Elevated right ventricular systolic pressure and right ventricular dysfunction were studied as independent predictors of mortality in children with pulmonary vein stenosis. Mortality in pediatric ...

Aerosolized vascular endothelial growth factor/stromal cell-derived factor-1α (VEGFNP/SDFNP) led to a lower pulmonary arterial pressure and prevented right ventricular hypertrophy after ...

The patients were included in this study if their preoperative pulmonary arterial systolic pressures were 50 mm. of mercury or more and if there was no evidence of regurgitation around the mitral ...

Systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery was estimated from the interval between pulmonary valve closure and tricuspid valve opening, and the heart rate using a nomogram previously described. The ...

Negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) occurs when a large, negative intrathoracic pressure is generated against an obstructed upper airway, causing fluid to shift into the lung interstitium.

F-FAPI PET—can detect the first signs of tissue remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), providing ...

A new molecular imaging technique-18F-FAPI PET-can detect the first signs of tissue remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), providing physicians with an early marker ...
