Association of anemia and long-term survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
(Int J Cardiol, 2011-08-04)BACKGROUND: Anemia is a marker of worsened clinical outcome in patients with heart failure from left ventricular dysfunction. Pulmonary hypertension often results in right ventricular dysfunction. Accordingly we sought to ... -
Atheromatous disease of the aorta and perioperative stroke.
(J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2017-09-14) -
Health insurance and racial disparities in pulmonary hypertension outcomes.
(Am J Manag Care, 2017-08)OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary hypertension portends a poorer prognosis for blacks versus white populations, but the underlying reasons are poorly understood. We investigated associations of disease characteristics, insurance status, ... -
Impact of diabetes in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
(Pulm Circ, 2015-03)Diabetes complicates management in a number of disease states and adversely impacts survival; how diabetes affects patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been well characterized. With insulin resistance having ... -
Impact of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and 12-year survival in the armed forces regression study.
(Angiology, 2010-05)We assessed the role of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and long-term survival among 111 patients with coronary disease enrolled in the Armed Forces Regression Study (AFREGS). Baseline fibrinogen levels and ... -
Incremental Value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Assessing Pulmonic Valve Regurgitation
(Journal of Heart Valve Disease, 2015-07-01) -
Long-term outcome and impact of surgery on adults with coronary arteries originating from the opposite coronary cusp.
(Circulation, 2011-01-18)BACKGROUND: An anomalous coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva may increase sudden death risk in children and young adults, and surgical intervention is often recommended. The impact of this lesion when recognized ... -
Modified INOvent for delivery of inhaled nitric oxide during cardiac MRI.
(Magn Reson Imaging, 2011-10)BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of delivering NO through a modified system to allow clearance of the magnetic field and thus compatibility with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Nitric oxide ... -
PINOT NOIR: pulmonic insufficiency improvement with nitric oxide inhalational response.
(J Cardiovasc Magn Reson, 2013-09-04)BACKGROUND: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair and pulmonary valvotomy for pulmonary stenosis (PS) lead to progressive pulmonary insufficiency (PI), right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction. This study assessed whether ... -
Pulmonary hypertension and elevated transpulmonary gradient in patients with mitral stenosis.
(J Heart Valve Dis, 2010-11)BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates mitral stenosis, with a subset of these patients exhibiting pressures well in excess of their mitral valve hemodynamics. The prevalence of this ... -
Response to inhaled nitric oxide predicts survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
(J Card Fail, 2011-04)OBJECTIVE: To examine the ability of vasodilator response to predict survival in a diverse cohort of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). PATIENTS & METHODS: A total of 214 consecutive treatment-naive patients referred ... -
When 'blue babies' grow up: What you need to know about tetralogy of Fallot.
(Cleve Clin J Med, 2010-11)Most babies born with tetralogy of Fallot undergo corrective surgery and survive to adulthood. However, as they get older they are prone to a number of long-term problems, and they often do not receive expert-level follow-up ...
