Pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to interstitial lung disease (ILD), a commonly encountered complication of fibrotic ILDs, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Until recently, the studies of pulmonary vasodilator therapy in...
Bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) mutation is the most common gene mutation implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We describe, for the first time, an excellent...
Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a rare disease caused by different causes. If left untreated, the prognosis is poor. The common causes of FM are Tuberculosis and Histoplasma capsulatum infection. Esophageal perforation is also a rare condition...
Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by partial or total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung to the inferior vena cava. We report a case of a 67-year-old female who presented with cough and dyspnea...
Pulmonary vascular dysfunction in the absence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been observed in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We describe the prevalence and etiology of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)...
Although rare, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with substantial morbidity and a median survival of approximately 7 years, even with treatment. Current medical therapies have a primarily vasodilatory effect and do not modify...
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been proven effective for addressing technically inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, the effectiveness of BPA in technically operable CTEPH patients who...
Webinar presentations: Pro-con: All patients should have balloon pulmonary angioplasty before being referred for pulmonary endarterectomy, Hiromi Matsubara (PRO) & Marcin Kurzyna (CON); Pro-con: Pulmonary hypertension recurs after pulmonary endarterectomy in most patients, Irene Lang (PRO) & Timothy Fernandes (CON)
'Fungi' is part of the Inflammation and Infection Virtual Symposium series by the iPVD, a global education programme that highlights top-notch research on inflammation and infectious PVD.
