In the ensuing 30 years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the cellular, genetic, and biochemical processes underlying what is now designated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Clinical trials have led to the availability of multiple therapeutic agents in three pharmacologic classes...
Pulmonary hypertension is an abnormal elevation of pressure in the pulmonary circulation that results in stress on the heart and remodeling of blood vessels in the lung. Pulmonary hypertension is caused by a variety of factors, and patient prognosis often depends on the underlying cause. Increased s...
Impact of acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension on LV diastolic function in healthy mountaineers at high altitude In right ventricular pressure overload leads to abnormal left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Acute high-altitude exposure is associated with -induced... Y Allemann,M Rotter,D Hutter,...

Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with systemic sclerosis is associated with a poor prognosis, but this can be improved by early disease detection. Abnormal pulmonary and cardiac function can be detected early by means of echocardiography, whereas right heart catheterization is...

Nosocomial sepsis, pulmonary air leak and pulmonary hypertension were uncommon events and there was no significant difference in the incidence between the groups. More infants in the group with a Thompson score ≥ 7 required CPAP (p=0.036), mechanical ventilation (p=0.002) and inotropic support (...
