ase pulmonary hypertension :: Article Creator Managing Pulmonary Hypertension In Pregnancy Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be a challenging complication to manage during pregnancy; women with PAH who are pregnant are considered a high-risk population, and they face higher rates of maternal and fetal complications. Close monitoring and individualizing treatment plans should be top priorities for the multidisciplinary teams caring for women who are pregnant or are considering pregnancy and exhibiting signs of pulmonary hypertension, according to new research published in International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease.1 This patient population is known to have higher risks of maternal morbidity and mortality, in addition to poor fetal outcomes, and newer data indicate that individual prognosis may be dependent on underlying etiology, such as hemodynamic changes—or alterations in blood flow such as from a cardiovascular condi...

This area is sufficient to allow a great deal of blood to flow from the left atrium (LA) to the left ventricle. When any disease process decreases the mitral valve area, mitral stenosis (MS) develops. As mitral stenosis progresses over time, the pressure in the left atrium rises. T...

lung infection treatment :: Article Creator Advancing Pulmonary Care: How Clinical Trials At Temple Lung Center Are Shaping The Future The treatments of tomorrow often start as clinical trials today. And when it comes to groundbreaking advancements in pulmonary care, the Temple Lung Center is at the forefront, offering patients access to potential new treatments before they become widely available. The Temple Lung Center's robust research program typically offers at least 50 enrolling options for clinical trials, with many options focused on conditions that can severely impact lung function: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, mycobacterium infection, asthma, lung cancer, sarcoidosis, and more. Provided Courtesy/Temple Health Lung Center Dr. Aamir Ajmeri and Dr. Lijo C. Illipparambil, both physician-researchers at ...

pulmonary hypertension cardiovascular disease :: Article Creator Women With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Face Significant Disease BurdenACC 2025 A small, multi-country analysis of women of child-rearing age has found that these patients experience limits on activities of daily living, challenges with the healthcare system and a high overall financial burden. Women with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) experience a high burden of disease that impacts their lives regardless of where they reside, according to a small study presented as a poster at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session and Expo. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare, progressive, and life-threatening disease in which blood vessels in the lungs narrow, causing strain on the heart. About 40,000 people in the United States are living with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The five-year mortality rate is about 43%. PAH is more common in women. Among all...

Back to Healio Key takeaways: Oxygenation and ventilation were measured in the first 24 hours after arrest. The probability of survival went down to a greater degree when a patient had both post-arrest hypoxemia and hypercapnia vs. Only one. Pediatric patients that received chest compressions for cardiac arrest faced a reduced likelihood for survival to hospital discharge if they ...

reasons for high diastolic blood pressure :: Article Creator What Causes High Blood Pressure? There are several things that can contribute to high blood pressure (hypertension). Doctors classify it using two categories: Primary Hypertension (Essential Hypertension) High blood pressure that has no known cause is called primary, or essential, hypertension. This is the most common type of high blood pressure. It develops slowly, and often people with primary hypertension have few or no symptoms. Genetics (a family history of high blood pressure) and unhealthy lifestyle habits can increase your risk of developing this type of high blood pressure. Secondary Hypertension  High blood pressure that can be linked to a specific medical condition or activity is called secondary hypertension. There are several things that can cause secondary hypertension, including:  Underlying health conditions: Certain health conditions, such as obstructive sleep apne...
