2022年7月15日 · On its own, pneumonia is not a heart disease. It’s a lung infection caused by bacteria or viruses. However, heart disease complications like congestive heart failure can cause a condition...

2012年1月4日 · Incident cardiac complications are common in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and are associated with increased short-term mortality. Older age, nursing home residence, preexisting cardiovascular disease, and pneumonia severity are …

Because of the ventilation/perfusion mismatch or shunt during the episode of pneumonia, the harmful inflammatory effects on the heart induce myocardial dysfunction, reduced myocardial contractility, greater myocardial oxygen demand, and lower myocardial oxygen supply, leading to heart failure [10,38,39].

2023年3月17日 · In this review, we will discuss how bacterial and viral pathogens trigger pneumonia and how this may alter the short- and long-term host inflammatory responses in ways that can affect the cardiovascular system. We also address potential opportunities for intervention in these pathways to improve outcomes in pneumonia survivors.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of death around the globe. Up to 30% of patients admitted to hospital for CAP develop cardiovascular complications (i.e. new/worsening heart failure, new/worsening arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions and/or strokes), acutely and up to 10 years …

In this Review, we summarise knowledge about the burden of cardiac complications in adults with acute pneumonia, the cardiovascular response to this infection, the potential effects of commonly used cardiovascular and anti-infective drugs on these associations, and possible directions for …

We identified 4,453 episodes of early cardiac arrest in patients who were hospitalized with pneumonia. Among patients with preexisting pneumonia, only 36.5% were receiving mechanical ventilation and only 33.3% were receiving infusions of vasoactive drugs prior to cardiac arrest.

2018年1月11日 · Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of death around the globe. Up to 30% of patients admitted to hospital for CAP develop cardiovascular complications (i.e. new/worsening heart failure, new/worsening arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions and/or strokes), acutely and up to 10 years thereafter.

Patients who develop HF from pneumonia are associated with higher severity of pneumonia and higher mortality rate. The purpose of this review was to summarize the association between pneumonia and HF with the available literature and discuss the pathophysiology underlying it.

2013年2月9日 · Although traditionally regarded as a disease confined to the lungs, acute pneumonia has important effects on the cardiovascular system at all severities of infection. Pneumonia tends to affect individuals who are also at high cardiovascular risk. Results of recent studies show that about a quarter o …
