Article Synopsis
- Exercise intolerance after a pulmonary embolism can stem from lingering blockages in the lungs, leading to a condition known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, potentially with pulmonary hypertension.
- The case study showcases a methodical way to assess functional limitations resulting from these blockages.
- It highlights the importance of using cardiopulmonary exercise testing to evaluate the severity and impact of the residual obstruction on exercise capacity.
Article Synopsis
- - Since the first case series over 30 years ago, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has evolved into a safe and effective treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
- - Despite its safety, BPA still carries a small risk of complications that need quick identification and management.
- - The main complications linked to BPA include pulmonary vascular injury and reperfusion pulmonary edema.
Aim: To investigate the effect of the new definition of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and new pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) thresholds on the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and events following cardiac transplantation (CTx) over 30 years.
Methods: Patients who underwent CTx between 1983 and 2014 for whom invasive hemodynamic data was available were analyzed ( = 342). Patients transplanted between 1983 and 1998 were classified as early era and those transplanted between 1999 and 2014 were classified as recent era.
Background: Recent changes in the demographic of cardiac donors and recipients have modulated the rate and risk, associated with posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). We investigated the secular trends of the risk of PTDM at 1 year and 3 years after transplantation over 30 years and explored its effect on major outcomes.
Methods: Three hundred and three nondiabetic patients were followed for a minimum of 36 months, after a first cardiac transplantation performed between 1983 and 2011.
The present paper aims to identify ways to reduce pollution injected by residents in the urban wastewater network system. Two approaches are considered. The first one uses flow and pollutant calculation to test whether a polluter can easily be identified in a neighborhood.
