People with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who have a high pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) — a measure of pressure in the heart’s left atrium, which receives blood from ...

Evaluation for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with cancer must include either lung ventilation/perfusion scan or dual-energy computed tomography of the chest to evaluate for acute and/or ...

Introduction: Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) provides an indirect estimate of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure.Its assessment is crucial in evaluating pulmonary hypertension.

Sotatercept, an activin-signaling inhibitor, reduces morbidity and mortality among patients with long-standing pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its effects in patients with pulmonary arterial ...

Institute of Cardiology, ASST Spedali Civili of Brescia, Brescia, Italy Background and aims: Pulmonary and/or peripheral venous congestion defines the clinical diagnosis of acute heart failure (AHF).

Increasing venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) flow often has a neutral or infrequently a beneficial effect on pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), despite raising left ...

Study achieves primary sensitivity endpoint, advancing diagnostics for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) Results build on data previously presented ...

The incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has increased worldwide over the past three decades, although death rates and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates related to the disease ...

COPD severity is linked to lower estimated pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and greater estimated pulmonary vascular resistance in the diffuse emphysema subtype. Emphysema subtypes, identified via ...
