Disease relevance of Pulmonary Heart Disease

 

High impact information on Pulmonary Heart Disease

  • We conclude that STI571 reverses vascular remodeling and cor pulmonale in severe experimental pulmonary hypertension regardless of the initiating stimulus [6].
  • Effects of oral hydralazine on gas exchange in patients with cor pulmonale [7].
  • After 20 mg sublingual nifedipine in 12 men with clinical stable chronic cor pulmonale the mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance fell, cardiac index rose, and mean pulmonary arterial (Ppa) and wedge (Ppaw) pressures, right atrial pressure, and PaO2 remained unchanged [8].
  • Improved haemodynamics but reduced arterial blood oxygenation, at rest and during exercise after long-term oral prazosin therapy in chronic cor pulmonale [9].
  • The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the haemodynamic and endocrine sequelae of type 1 ANG II receptor blockade in patients with hypoxaemic cor pulmonale [10].

Gene context of Pulmonary Heart Disease

  • Rigid spine muscular dystrophy due to SEPN1 mutation presenting as cor pulmonale [25].
  • Plasma levels of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG), platelet factor 4(PF4) and platelet aggregation rate (PAR) were measured in remission phase of 15 patients affected with chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD). beta-TG, beta-TG/PF4, PF4 and PAR were significantly higher in the patients than in controls (P < 0.01 and 0.05, respectively) [26].
  • These preliminary findings suggest that long-term vasodilator therapy can result in persistent hemodynamic improvement in some patients with cor pulmonale secondary to COPD, although the impact of this form of therapy on survival remains to be clarified [27].
  • Nine patients showed signs suggestive of cor pulmonale upon ECHO; among these patients, 6 had pressure recordings > or = 40 mmHg and 3 had a PSAP between 35 and 40 mmHg; one patient was asymptomatic and 8 showed signs suggestive of PAH upon clinical examination [28].
  • Changes in atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations during intravenous saline infusion in hypoxic cor pulmonale [29].
