Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
PAH, right ventricular hypertrophy prevalent in patients with ILD
BOSTON — Among patients with interstitial lung disease, 30% had pulmonary arterial hypertension and 20% had right ventricular hypertrophy, according to data presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.
Effects of IPF combination therapy similar for patients with, without right heart dysfunction
Among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the effects of nintedanib plus sildenafil, as compared with nintedanib alone, on quality of life and FVC did not differ significantly between patients with and those without evidence of right heart dysfunction, according to subgroup analyses of the INSTAGE trial.
