The gold standard for diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is right heart catheterization. This procedure requires considerable expertise and has its own procedure related complications. If not done properly, it can lead to misinterpretations of its findings. We have highlighted the procedural technique and major pitfalls in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Rats Using Radial Scanning with Retrospective Gating.
Bull Exp Biol Med
January 2025
Faculty of Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with radial scanning, images of intact rat lungs and rat lungs with pulmonary hypertension were obtained. The retrospective gating method was applied to construct images of rat lungs during inspiration and expiration phases. Lung volumes at both respiratory phases, relative tidal volume, and the percentage of lung lesions were calculated.

The right heart catheterization (RHC) remains an important diagnostic tool for a spectrum of cardiovascular disease processes including pulmonary hypertension (PH), shock, valvular heart disease, and unexplained dyspnea. While it gained widespread utilization after its introduction, the role of the RHC has evolved to provide valuable information for the management of advanced therapies in heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock (CS) to name a few. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview on the indications, utilization, complications, interpretation, and calculations associated with RHC.

Int J Health Sci (Qassim)
January 2025
Department of Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, People's Republic of China.
Objectives: This study aims to assess the correlation between clinical features and mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals with COVID-19.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted for cohort, cross-sectional, and case series that reported co-infection with HIV and COVID-19 published from January to September 2020. Clinical features such as age, comorbidities, CD4T lymphocyte counts, HIV RNA levels, and antiretroviral regimens were evaluated using meta-analyses and systematic reviews.
Predictors of sepsis in trauma patients: a National Trauma Data Bank analysis.

Department of Emergency Medicine, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background: Trauma remains a global health issue being one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Sepsis and infections are common complications contributing to mortality, emphasizing the need to understand factors leading to such complications following trauma.
Aim: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with post-trauma sepsis using data from the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB).
Case report: Cilioretinal artery occlusion combined with central retinal vein occlusion as the initial presentation of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan, China.
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance, leading to systemic venous hypertension and potential right heart failure. These elevated pressures can extend to ocular veins, resulting in complications such as central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). This case report highlights a rare instance of CRVO combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion (CilRAO), an uncommon ocular manifestation associated with PAH.
