A RV maximum pressure (Pmax) was calculated from the RV pressure curve. The adequacy of RV systolic functional adaptation to increased afterload was estimated either by a stroke volume ...

Women are more likely to have pulmonary arterial hypertension, but men tend to have worse outcomes and worse treatment responses.

An analysis of the algorithm demonstrated its ability to analyze heart sounds recorded with a digital stethoscope for identifying elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures, a key indicator of ...

The force of blood that pushes against artery walls every time the heart beats. Blood pressure is often measured alongside the vital signs (temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate) and is used to ...

Objective In individuals with complex underlying health problems, the association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cardiovascular disease is less well recognised. The association between SBP ...

If possible we use retrievable filters, which should ideally be removed within the recommended time scale. Suggested approach: A chronic history, markedly elevated systolic pulmonary arterial ...

We developed a deep learning–based method that uses phonocardiograms (PCGs) for the detection of elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure, an indicator of pulmonary hypertension. Approximately 6000 ...

Studies were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: studies that diagnosed PH by TTE, study population represented by patients with suspected PH, TTE measurement of systolic pulmonary ...

4 University of Giessen and Marburg Lung Center (UGMLC), member of the German Center of Lung Research (DZL), Giessen, Germany Until recently, three classes of medical therapy were available for the ...
