Objective Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is hemodynamically pathophysiological condition defined as increase of secondary pulmonary arterial pressure, at rest over 25, or after effort over 30 mmHg, measured by right heart…
Purpose Pulmonary arteriel hypertension (PAH) is one of the most important childhood health problem associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite improvements, best management of pediatric PAH is still unclear, especially secondary…
Background In patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), in hospital mortality ranges from 5% to 17%, significantly higher than in patients without RVD. In randomized trials…
35years old female patient have been admitted to our clinic by dyspnea, abdominal distension, leg edema and fatigue for last 3 months. Physical examination revealed central cyanosis, abdominal tenderness due…
The traditional way to calculate pulmonary artery pressure is measuring tricuspid regurgitant velosity (TRV) and estimated right atrial pressure (eRAP). Moreover, the reproducibility of this method is clearly good. In…
Purpose Pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to right ventricular (RV) remodeling and dysfunction. Regardless of etiology, clinical deterioration and mortality are strongly associated with RV dysfunction in PH patients. Assessment of…
Purpose Pulmonary embolism is a frequently encountered cardiovascular emergency case. It might cause a life threatening acute, but potentially recyclable right ventricle insufficiency in response to the obstruction of the…
Objective The present study aimed to investigate the effects of steroid treatment in patients with newly diagnosed childhood asthma on aortic stiffness and to determine how such effects contribute to…
Objective TAVI is a quite new methodology and following the international guidelines it should be only for selected type of patients. The long term safety of this valves is not…
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure. Genetic mutations account for 50% of DCM cases with TTN mutations being the most common, accounting for up to 25%…
