Atrial arrhythmias common after lung transplantation
Onset of atrial arrhythmia is common after lung transplantation, occurring approximately 30% of the time in one cohort, and confers increased mortality risk, researchers reported.
Riociguat safe, tolerable in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension tolerated long-term use of riociguat well, according to recent data, and researchers identified two prognostic factors associated with the treatment.
Influenza vaccination linked to fewer CV, respiratory hospitalizations in patients with HF
Influenza vaccination was associated with a 30% reduction in CV hospitalization in patients with HF, according to recent study data.
INFORM: CTEPH underdiagnosed in patients with PE
As many as 4% of patients with pulmonary embolism may develop chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, but imaging studies in patients with pulmonary embolism and a symptom of pulmonary hypertension are underutilized, according to new research published in the American Journal of Medicine.
Combination therapy reduces worsening for PAH patients
The use of combination pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy significantly reduced the risk for clinical worsening among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, according to a recent analysis.
mPAP/CO relationship predicts PAH transplant-free survival
The relationship between mean pulmonary arterial pressure to cardiac output during supine incremental exercise was a predictive factor in transplant-free survival among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, according to recent research.
Low levels of activity correlate with physical, mental fatigue, low energy
Among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, low levels of recorded activity may lead to susceptibility to physical and mental fatigue and low energy levels, according to study results published in Chest.
Incident pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with greater risk for disease progression
Patients with incident pulmonary arterial hypertension appeared to have a higher risk for disease progression, according to recent research.
