Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (formerly referred to as primary pulmonary hypertension) is an uncommon yet progressively fatal disease defined by the presence of mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 25mmHg at rest or greater than 30mmHg with exercise as tested by right heart catheterization in the absence of other etiologies for pulmonary hypertension. Across several studied… View more

Introduction Compared with patients with structurally normal hearts, there is an even greater need to suppress pathologic tachycardias in patients with congenital heart disease. The decrease in diastolic filling time and potential loss of atrioventricular (AV) synchrony are more poorly tolerated in these patients, proportionate to the degree of underlying systolic and diastolic dysfunction… View more

Current Thinking in Acute Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Edema
Author(s): Shamai A Grossman Added: 3 years ago
Introduction Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an imbalance in pump function in which the heart fails to maintain the circulation of blood adequately. The most severe manifestation of CHF, pulmonary edema, develops when this imbalance causes an increase in lung fluid secondary to leakage from pulmonary capillaries into the interstitium and alveoli of the lung. CHF can be categorized as forward… View more

Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. Although the incidence of death due to coronary artery disease has declined over the last several years, the prevalence of coronary artery disease remains high, with the American Heart Association (AHA) estimating that over 81 million Americans suffer from cardiovascular disease and 2,200 people dying every day of… View more
