Electrocardiograms were studied in 37 patients with tricuspid atresia and in 20 with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum. The results were correlated with angiocardiographic findings and ...

Most neonates with clinically significant pulmonary hypertension (PH) will have either persistent PH of the newborn (PPHN) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Cyanotic congenital heart disease must be ...

Recent research paper titled "Impact of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn in Neonates with Dextro-transposition of the Great Arteries" aimed to investigate the effects of persistent ...

In this study, the authors aimed to determine any associations between SNPs of previous PPHN candidate genes and to perform a validation of any genetic associations found to elucidate a possible ...

In the LungFit PH system, NO is indicated to improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation — which is a type of artificial life support used when the lungs and ...

The widespread utilization of chest CT scans has increased the importance of the proper evaluation of incidentally found lung nodules. The primary goal in the evaluation of these nodules is to ...

Surgical repair of tricuspid atresia has been carried out in three patients ... The right atrium is, in this way, `ventriclized', to direct the inferior vena caval blood to the left lung, the right ...

Inhaled NO therapy is an effective form of treatment in acute conditions, such as ARDS and PPHN; it is particularly effective in increasing oxygen saturation and decreasing pulmonary artery pressure.

An imaging technique called 18F-FAPI PET may be able to detect the earliest signs of changes in blood vessel tissues that occur in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a new study reports. According ...

To diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), doctors typically use spirometry to measure your lung function. They usually also perform other tests to monitor the damage to your lungs.

You must go to a doctor to know for sure whether you have COPD. That’s because there are things to consider for a diagnosis. Some people have asthma and COPD at the same time. If you have ...
