Increase in progenitor endothelial cells associated to right heart failure in pediatric patients with secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension

Increase in progenitor endothelial cells associated to right heart failure in pediatric patients with secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious condition that causes right heart failure. A persistent inflammatory process is present in the vascular endothelial tissue, which releases circulating CD34+,133+ endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs),...
Clinical characteristics, management and survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension with cardiovascular comorbidities: Data from the Hellenic Pulmonary Hypertension Registry (HOPE)

Clinical characteristics, management and survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension with cardiovascular comorbidities: Data from the Hellenic Pulmonary Hypertension Registry (HOPE)

Background: Although younger female patients were diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) in 1980s, it is now frequently encountered in elderly patients with cardiovascular comorbidities (CVCs) associated with increased risk for left heart...
Association of right ventricular diastolic stiffness and CMR variables with mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Association of right ventricular diastolic stiffness and CMR variables with mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Right ventricular (RV) failure is the major cause of mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Diastolic stiffness is significantly associated with outcomes in patients with PH. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides an opportunity to image the right...
