Metabolic Syndrome Linked to Higher Risk for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Researchers examined the association and related outcomes of metabolic syndrome among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Percutaneous Transluminal Pulmonary Angioplasty for Takayasu Arteritis-Associated Pulmonary HTN
Researchers sought to determine the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transluminal pulmonary angioplasty for Takayasu arteritis-associated pulmonary HTN.
RV-Pulmonary Artery Coupling Prognosis in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
A study was conducted to evaluate the evolution and prognostic value of TAPSE/PASP ratio in cardiac resynchronization therapy recipients.
Prognostic Role of Right Atrial Pressure in HF With Preserved Ejection Fraction
A study was conducted to determine if right atrial pressure represents cumulative burden of abnormalities in both sides of the heart and in pulmonary vasculature.
FDA to Review Dry Powder Inhalation Formulation of Treprostinil
Tyvaso DPI is an investigational drug-device combination therapy consisting of a dry powder formulation of treprostinil.
Riociguat May Be Useful Alternative to PDE5i Therapy in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Riociguat may be a useful option for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension in whom phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor treatment is insufficient.
Examining Changes in PASP After Atrial Defect Closure in Older Patients With Systolic, Diastolic, and Renal Dysfunction
Patients who are older and have systolic, diastolic, and renal dysfunction may benefit from peri-interventional preload reduction therapy before implantation of larger left atrial devices.
Exercise Doppler Echocardiography Found to Consistently Assess Right Heart, Pulmonary Circulation
Exercise Doppler echocardiography may provide consistent assessment of right heart function and pulmonary circulation when conducted at expert centers.
High Hepatic Growth Factor Levels Add Predictive Value to PAH Risk Score
In pulmonary arterial hypertension, high plasma levels of hepatic growth factor are associated with the right heart maladaptive phenotype and are incremental to the REVEAL score for the prediction of patient outcomes.
Inhaled Treprostinil Beneficial in Pulmonary Hypertension
Exercise capacity improved, clinical worsening reduced for patients with pulmonary HTN due to interstitial lung disease.
