The hyperproliferation of smooth muscle cells and deposition of collagen in the pulmonary artery are among the primary characteristics of pulmonary hypertension (PH). These processes contribute to ...

PE itself may lead to pulmonary hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, respiratory failure and other serious consequences, and these pathological processes may be further exacerbated when complicated by ...

A higher diameter ratio on CT scans between the right ventricle and left ventricle, which are the heart’s lower chambers, independently predicts major adverse cardiovascular events in people with ...

Color Doppler flow imaging shows hepatic veins display alternating red. Contrast-enhanced liver ultrasound suggests the hepatic arteriovenous fistula and inferior vena cava hypertension. CT pulmonary ...

CTEPH indicates chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension; PE, pulmonary embolism ... Imaging tests are key components to the workup of PE. Pulmonary computed tomography (CT) angiography and, less ...

Transition from healthy to diseased state is a cell-type-specific process, influenced by neighboring cells and resulting in functionally meaningful differences between pulmonary artery adventitial ...
