Download or read book Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension written by Jochen Antel and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary hypertension is a fatal lung and heart disease. It is characterized by shortness of breath, fatigue and fainting. It is exacerbated by an increase of the pressure in the lung vasculature through exercise, leading to progressive worsening of hemodynamics, right ventricular hypertrophy, right heart insufficiency and finally right heart failure. This book focuses on pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare and progressive subgroup of pulmonary hypertension, which is today incurable and terminally faal. Classification of pulmonary arterial hypertension, its pathology, and strategies for future therapy will be of interest both to those suffering from the disease and those who take care of patients. This volume will also engage physicians and other scientists contributing to an understanding of the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension and attempting to extend life of humans with pulmonary arterial hypertension by developing causal and curative therapies.

Book Synopsis Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension by : Clive Handler
Download or read book Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension written by Clive Handler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs with blood. Patients with mild PAH, particularly young patients, may feel quite well and get breathless or tired only with vigorous exertion. Those with severe PAH may get breathless on minimal exertion and feel tired, exhausted and experience chest pain, forceful heart beats, dizzy turns, loss of appetite, and have swelling of the legs due to fluid retention. This book will help patients and their families understand what PAH is, and advise them on how to cope with their illness. In the UK patients with PAH are referred to one of the eight National Pulmonary Hypertension centres staffed by a team of specialist doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other staff who are experienced and expert in managing all aspects of the condition. Currently, the drugs used to treat the condition can be prescribed only by these specialists. The book will explain what the illness is and how it is treated in a reassuring and understandable way. The book will also be of interest to GPs, nurses and other related healthcare professionals.

Book Synopsis Pulmonary hypertension by : Sics Editore
Download or read book Pulmonary hypertension written by Sics Editore and published by SICS Editore. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) denotes a state where the mean pulmonary artery pressure is 25 mmHg or higher (measured invasively via right heart catheterisation in specialist medical care). In clinical practice, echocardiography is used as a screening tool because it provides the means to indirectly estimate the pressure within the pulmonary arteries. The most common causes of increased pulmonary blood pressure are problems related to the left side of the heart (such as ventricular failure and valvular defects) and hypoxaemia caused either by lung disease or other conditions (such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and sleep apnoea). In these situations the increase in pulmonary blood pressure is a secondary haemodynamic phenomenon and, according to current understanding, it only plays a minor role as far as the management of the condition is concerned. At present, no evidence exists on the benefit of PH medication in the treatment of these conditions. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are markedly rarer causes of PH, and in these conditions both pulmonary blood pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance play a major role. The principal mechanism behind PAH is an endothelial dysfunction in the small pulmonary arteries leading to an imbalance between vasoactive mediators (e.g. prostacycline, nitrous oxide and endothelin), which are responsible for the dilatation and constriction of the vessels as well as for enhancing or inhibiting vascular proliferation. Promising new drugs have been introduced during the last few years for the treatment of PAH, which improve the patient’s functional capacity and probably also the prognosis. The investigations of PH are always carried out in specialist medical care, and the diagnosis and treatment of PAH and CTEPH should be concentrated in specialist centres.

Book Synopsis Pulmonary Hypertension - ECAB by : Sheila Glennis Haworth
Download or read book Pulmonary Hypertension - ECAB written by Sheila Glennis Haworth and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2008-12-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary hypertension is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg, with Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure ≤ 15 mmHg, measured by cardiac catheterization. The etiology of PH has a varied spectrum extending right from Drugs, toxins and portal hypertension to HIV, Collagen Vascular Diseases and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of Newborn, etc. The estimation of disease prevalence has been nearly impossible owing to the geographic distribution and economic diversity, along with significant regional variations in human development and healthcare infrastructure. A large number of patients with PH never reach the health centers capable of diagnosing the disease condition correctly. Advance pulmonary vascular disease as a result of uncorrected CHD is a major health challenge in the developing world. PH exists as a major component of many forms of cardiac and pulmonary disease. While breathlessness is the most common feature of PH, patients often also present with chest pain, syncope, fatigue, weakness and abdominal distension. The precordial signs include a right ventricular lift, accentuated pulmonary component of S2, a pansystolic murmur of Tricuspid regurgitation, a diastolic murmur of pulmonary regurgitation and a right ventricular S3. The standard diagnostic workup in developed countries includes a series of investigations to rule out the secondary causes. Additional tests are required to estimate the disease severity and plan the appropriate treatment. These include the cardiac catheterization, selective pulmonary angiography by direct injection of pulmonary arteries, high resolution CT scan, cardiac magnetic resonance, ABGs, nocturnal O2 saturation, etc. While most of the basic management is feasible in the Indian conditions, most of the newly introduced drugs are either not available or are available at costs that far exceed the paying capacity of an average citizen of a developing economy. An underdeveloped health insurance system adds further to the financial burden of the treatment. Measures like formulation of guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of PAH, educating clinicians and scientists and making medications affordable to poor patients might ensue a breakthrough in the overall management of pulmonary hypertension.
Book Synopsis Pulmonary Hypertension by : Bradley A. Maron
Download or read book Pulmonary Hypertension written by Bradley A. Maron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the framework for a singular reference in the field of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary vascular disease is a complex and heterogeneous condition characterized by remodeling of distal pulmonary arterioles that increases pulmonary vascular resistance to affect cardiopulmonary hemodynamic and right ventricular function adversely, resulting in a clinical syndrome of diminished exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, and heart failure-associated morbidity and mortality. Owing to the availability of novel pulmonary circulation-selective pharmacotherapies over the previous decade, the number of pulmonary hypertension patients eligible for treatment has increased substantially. Despite this progress, under-awareness persists within the practicing pulmonary, cardiovascular, and general internal medicine communities. This is due, in part, to the complex array of molecular mechanisms implicated in the pathobiology of PH, as well as cutting-edge discoveries from translational scientific works that provide a new framework by which to understand pulmonary vascular-right ventricular coupling. Taken together, a key educational opportunity is exposed to bridge this knowledge gap through the synthesis of a contemporary text that emphasizes basic science, translational and clinical principles, and treatment strategies for understanding pulmonary hypertension.
