non-invasive approach to assess pulmonary congestion. We investigated the relationship between the number of B-lines (vertical artefacts arising from the pleural line) and intracardiac pressures.

Hemodynamic consequences such as increased pulmonary venous pressure ... as coronary artery disease. The prognosis of severe diastolic heart failure is similar to that of systolic heart failure.

An echocardiogram showed right atrial and ventricular dilatation and the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 53.6 mm Hg (resulting from tricuspid regurgitation identified on Doppler ...

Aims Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) appears to be very common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction but details on ...

The Mini Nutritional Assessment was viable for assessing nutritional status and predicting mortality outcomes in patients ...

They move it to the heart. The heart is checked by measuring blood pressure and oxygen in the 4 chambers of the heart. The pulmonary artery and aorta are also checked. Contrast dye is also injected to ...

Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: systolic blood pressure (the first number) indicates the force of the blood against the artery walls when the heart beats, and diastolic blood ...

The study findings underscore the importance of early initiation of macitentan and tadalafil among patients who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and represent a shift in understanding ...

the walls of the pulmonary artery become stiff, damaged and narrow and the amount of oxygen going out to the rest of the body drops to dangerously low levels. Sensing the low levels of oxygen, the ...

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the pulmonary artery, which carries blood from your heart to your lungs. It’s a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention. Research from ...
