BACKGROUND: Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) is a lysosomal storage disease rarely resulting in end stage pulmonary hypertension (PH) and interstitial lung disease. There have only been two previous case reports of patients with GD1 receiving lung transplants.CASE PRESENTATION:...

Right ventricular function mirrors clinical improvement with use of prostacyclin analogues in pediatric pulmonary hypertension.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children due to right ventricular (RV) failure. We sought to determine the effect of prostacyclin analogues on RV function assessed by echocardiography in children with PH. We conducted a retrospective...

Right ventricular ST-elevation myocardial infarction as a cause of death in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pulmonary circulation

Zhan Y, Burstein B, Abualsaud AO, Nosair M, Hirsch AM, Lesenko L, Langleben D.
PMID: 28597772
Pulm Circ. 2017 Apr-Jun;7(2):555-558. doi: 10.1177/2045893217704435. Epub 2017 May 12.

A 32-year-old woman with advanced idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), treated with oral tadalafil and intravenous epoprostenol, presented with typical angina pectoris of one day's duration. Her electrocardiogram, previously typical of pulmonary hypertension, revealed an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction...

Prostacyclins have no direct inotropic effect on isolated atrial strips from the normal and pressure-overloaded human right heart.

Pulmonary circulation

Holmboe S, Andersen A, Jensen RV, Kimose HH, Ilkjær LB, Shen L, Clapp LH, Nielsen-Kudsk JE.
PMID: 28597773

Prostacyclins are vasodilatory agents used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The direct effects of prostacyclins on right heart function are still not clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible direct inotropic properties of...

Withdrawal of long-term epoprostenol therapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Pulmonary circulation

Calcaianu G, Calcaianu M, Canuet M, Enache I, Kessler R.
PMID: 28597752
Pulm Circ. 2017 Apr-Jun;7(2):439-447. doi: 10.1177/2045893217702401. Epub 2017 Mar 13.

Once initiated for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), epoprostenol treatment usually needs to be delivered for an indefinite duration. It is possible that some participants could be transitioned from epoprostenol to oral therapies. We retrospectively evaluated eight PAH participants transitioned...

Moderate and deep hypothermia produces hyporesposiveness to phenylephrine in isolated rat aorta.

Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2013 Dec;46(6):402-12. doi: 10.5090/kjtcs.2013.46.6.402. Epub 2013 Dec 06.

BACKGROUND: Moderate and severe hypothermia with cardiopulmonary bypass during aortic surgery can cause some complications such as endothelial cell dysfunction or coagulation disorders. This study found out the difference of vascular reactivity by phenylephrine in moderate and severe hypothermia.METHODS:...

Subcutaneous treprostinil is well tolerated with infrequent site changes and analgesics.

Pulmonary circulation

White RJ, Levin Y, Wessman K, Heininger A, Frutiger K.
PMID: 24618545
Pulm Circ. 2013 Sep;3(3):611-21. doi: 10.1086/674304. Epub 2013 Nov 18.

Abstract Continuous prostanoid infusions are recommended for patients with advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension. Infusion site pain has discouraged some physicians from considering subcutaneous (SQ) treprostinil therapy even though it has safety and convenience advantages over intravenous epoprostenol. We conducted...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: New Management Options.
