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

Similarly, in the 14 patients with mitral stenosis the average cardiac index increased ... the marked decline in the pulmonary arterial or right ventricular systolic pressure that occurred in ...

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 ...

Pulmonary artery pressure monitoring systems use sensors to collect data on pulmonary artery pressure in people with chronic heart failure to allow for ongoing remote monitoring. A pulmonary artery ...

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 ...

Diastolic retrograde flow in the pulmonary artery branches, however, is always a sign of severe PR. This should always be looked for in particular. A PR pressure half time <100 ms is also an indicator ...

Blood pressure refers to the force of blood pushing against the artery walls as the heart pumps. In a person with low blood pressure, blood flows through the veins and arteries with too little force.

If a patient has symptoms suggestive of COPD (e.g., persistent or worsening shortness of breath), the diagnosis can be confirmed with a pulmonary function ... called the BODE index. This index ...

Treprostinil Aids PAH Patients With Cardiovascular Issues Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and cardiovascular comorbidities may benefit from the use of inhaled or oral treprostinil as ...

We found continuous milrinone was associated with significant improvement in pulmonary pressures and pulmonary artery compliance, which was not seen with dobutamine. The significant improvement in ...
