  1. 1. Pulmonary hypertension. Clinical and pathophysiological studies

    Författare :Nedim Selimovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pulmonary hypertension; Echocardiography; Right heart catheterisation; Pulmonary vascular resistance; Pulmonary function tests; Lung transplantation; Mortality on the waiting list; Vascular remodelling; Growth substances; Inflammation; Endothelin;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common abnormality, most often associated with various cardiopulmonary diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating pulmonary vascular disease characterised by the proliferation of endothelial, smooth-muscle cells and fibroblasts. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pulmonary Hypertension and the Nitric Oxide System

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological state associated with several medical conditions, leading to progressive rise in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right ventricular failure. The clinical PH classification encompasses five main World Health Organization (WHO) groups; pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), PH due to left heart disease, PH due to lung diseases and/or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic PH, and PH with unclear multifactorial mechanisms.

  5. 4. 3D visualization of vascular lesions and the role of versican in pulmonary arterial hypertension

    Författare :Christian Westöö; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pulmonary arterial hypertension; Synchrotron; Imaging; Phase-contrast; Plexiform; Versican;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that leads to lethal right heart failure. Available treatments provide relief but are far from curative and the vascular remodeling in PAH has been difficult to decipher. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pulmonary hypertension : the role and place of PDGF

    Författare :Philip Tannenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension is a severe condition, leading to right heart dysfunction and preterm death. For pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a disease group in which the primary pathology resides within the pulmonary pre-capillary vessels, several specific therapies are in clinical use, but unfortunately the prognosis is still grim.
