THE pulmonary circulation is of paramount importance in failure of the heart. The presence of dyspnea, orthopnea and hemoptysis and a diminution in vital capacity imply a profound change in the blood ...

In normal patients, the right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure and the pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressures are equal (15-20 mmHg), while the diastolic pressures differ, ie, the RV diastolic ...

More than three-quarters of patients undergoing TAVR present with some degree of pulmonary hypertension, but this has no bearing on subsequent mortality, researchers have found. Rather, what matters ...

We studied the cross-sectional associations of left heart structure and systolic and diastolic function with echocardiographically measured pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Mean pulmonary artery ...

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) increases during late life and predicts the development of dyspnea, highlighting the importance of risk factor assessment and control over the life course, ...

Empagliflozin (Jardiance; Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly) helps lower diastolic pulmonary artery pressure in patients who have heart failure with either reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF ) or preserved ...

Association between hemoglobin (Hb) improvement and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients (pts) with myelofibrosis (MF) and anemia: Post hoc pooled analysis of momelotinib (MMB) phase 3 trials.

We have had the opportunity of studying 17 patients and wish to add our findings to the scant literature on this benign cardiac malformation. We emphasize the fact that this anomaly is more common ...
