The case of a six-day-old neonate admitted in an emergency situation because of dyspnea and increasing cyanosis is reported. Despite abnormal opacification on the chest X-ray and left ventricular overload on the electrocardiogram ...
Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery: autogenous arterial tube for aortic implantation
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2004-12-01)
Many surgical procedures for the implantation of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery have been described. A dual coronary system offers most benefit and is most advantageous for the patient. Two autogenous ...
Echocardiographic Doppler estimation of pulmonary artery pressure in critically ill patients with severe hypoxemia
(2008-01-01)
BACKGROUND: In spontaneously breathing cardiac patients, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) can be accurately estimated from the transthoracic Doppler study of pulmonary artery and tricuspid regurgitation blood flows. In ...
Influence of physical preconditioning on the responsiveness of rat pulmonary artery after pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion
(2007-07-01)
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of physical preconditioning in the responsiveness of rat pulmonary rings submitted to lung ischemia/reperfusion (IR). Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Sedentary ...

Pulmonary haemodynamics during recovery from maximum incremental cycling exercise
(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2016)
Assessment of cardiac function during exercise can be technically demanding, making the recovery period a potentially attractive diagnostic window. However, the validity of this approach for exercise pulmonary haemodynamics ...
The Impact of Heterozygous KCNK3 Mutations Associated With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension on Channel Function and Pharmacological Recovery
(Wiley, 2017)
Background-Heterozygous loss of function mutations in the KCNK3 gene cause hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). KCNK3 encodes an acid-sensitive potassium channel, which contributes to the resting potential of ...
