Results did not materially differ when restricting the analyses to participants free of symptoms of shortness of breath. Structural and functional echocardiographic parameters of subclinical cardiac ...

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 ...

AI echocardiography using multimodal right ventricular assessment predicted mortality in pulmonary hypertension. Learn more.

Parker et al. 4 reported immediate changes in the respective pressures in 21 patients during mitral commissurotomy — usually an immediate drop. The percentage reduction was higher for the pressure in ...

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, ...

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 ...

Right ventricular end-systolic elastance to end-systolic arterial elastance coupling in excess of 0.68 was linked with preserved right ventricular function and better survival outcomes in patients ...
