To investigate the prognostic accuracy of three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DE) right ventricular (RV) data and compare it with that of risk stratification based on 2015 ESC Guidelines in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PcPH) patients.
Reflux of contrast medium into the inferior vena cava (IVC) on computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Thrombolytic therapy alleviates pulmonary embolism (PE) symptoms rapidly but increases bleeding risk, with no consistent consensus on acute intermediate-high risk PE. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of low-dose prolonged infusion thrombolysis for acute intermediate-high risk PE to provide a safer clinical option.
Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a chronic disease that causes significant structural deterioration in the right atrium and ventricle. In the past 1–2 decades, life expectancy in patients with PH has increased due to improved awareness, diagnosis and advancements in treatment.
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) experience long diagnostic delays, high functional class at diagnosis and poor prognosis. We aimed to study the differentiative and predictive value of 90 inflammatory and immunomodulatory related proteins in idiopathic and hereditary PAH (IPAH/HPAH) and systemic sclerosis-associated PAH (SSc-APAH).
