Artificial intelligence to improve the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension: promises and pitfalls
Heart BMJ
MARCH 22, 2024
Challenges in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a clinical–physiological syndrome thought to affect 1% of the global population. Patients with PH experience symptoms including dyspnoea, fatigue and oedema, often associated with physical and psychosocial disability.
Upregulation of Angiomotin-like 2 ameliorates experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension by inactivating YAP1 signaling
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology
JULY 1, 2024
Abstract: Angiomotin-like 2 (AMOTL2) is related to numerous physiological and pathological conditions by affecting signal transduction. However, whether AMOTL2 is linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has not been addressed. AMOTL2 was downregulated in hypoxia-stimulated pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs).

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. ET (endothelin) is a powerful vasoconstrictor 21-amino acid peptide present in many tissues, which exerts many physiological functions across the body and participates as a mediator in many pathological conditions.
Clinical risk associated with COVID-19 among 86000 patients with congenital heart disease
Open Heart
DECEMBER 14, 2023
The excess risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation and death rose with increasing physiological severity of CHD (presence of pulmonary vascular disease and/or cyanosis), rather than anatomical complexity. Of patients with a positive COVID-19 test, patients with CHD were more likely than controls to be hospitalised (22.4%
Exercise catheterization in adults post?Fontan with normal and abnormal hemodynamic criteria: insights into normal Fontan physiology
European Journal of Heart Failure
DECEMBER 28, 2023
Moreover, the definitions of elevated exercise pulmonary artery (PA) and PA wedge pressure (PAWP) for this population have not been described. The major discrepancy in exercise hemodynamics among Group II compared to controls appears to be the degree of systemic venous hypertension and arterial desaturation. All rights reserved.
A crashing patient with an abnormal ECG that you must recognize
Dr. Smith's ECG Blog
MARCH 12, 2018
Notice I did not say "pulmonary embolism," because any form of severe acute right heart strain may produce this ECG. This includes, but is not limited to, PE, asthma/COPD exacerbation, hypoxic vasoconstriction from pneumonia, acute pulmonary hypertension exacerbation. There are filling defects in both main pulmonary arteries.
