Implantable Infusion Pump for Treprostinil in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Is Safe, Feasible

Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who were treated with treprostinil using an implantable infusion pump experienced few serious complications.

Heparin, von Willebrand Factor Interaction to Predict Bleeding During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Predicting bleeding during cardiopulmonary bypass is complex and not captured by tests, including measuring von Willebrand factor interaction.

Noninvasive Combinatorial Model Predicts Pulmonary Hypertension

A combinatorial model was devised to predict pulmonary hypertension using systolic pulmonary artery pressure and forced vital capacity in older adults.

Pulmonary Artery Denervation for the Treatment of PAH

Pulmonary artery denervation has been found to reduce the sympathetic activity of the pulmonary circulation.

Baseline PASP and TMVr Outcomes in Heart Failure With Secondary Mitral Regurgitation

Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure was found to be associated with a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure with severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

A Case of Dual-Dissociated Pulmonary Vein Activity Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation

A new dissociated pulmonary vein activity was detected in a patient.

Hospitalizations Lower in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Receiving Selexipag or Treprostinil

Researchers sought to determine if selexipag can be associated with lower hospitalization rates through analysis of real-world hospitalization rates of patients taking either selexipag or treprostinil.

Physicians Often Underestimate or Overestimate PAH Progression Risk

Physicians frequently underestimate or overestimate disease progression risk in patients with World Health Organization functional class II pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease: Current Diagnostic Criteria and Therapeutics

Diagnosing pulmonary hypertension due to left-heart disease requires a systematic approach using clinical history and noninvasive investigations.

Elevated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure Among Patients With Heart Failure Indicates Poorer Clinical Outcomes

The purpose of this study was to determine whether baseline pulmonary hypertension influences the outcome of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) in patients presenting with HF with SMR.
