It illustrates blood flow dynamics through the heart's chambers, including the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary arteries, as well as the return of oxygenated blood from the lungs to ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and severe lung disease with a life-threatening prognosis. After several positive trials, a recent study has confirmed the efficacy of a biotherapy, ...

The following is a summary of “Right atrial reservoir strain as an early predictor of pulmonary hypertension development in ...

It occurs because progressive vascular changes cause the small pulmonary arteries to narrow. As a result, the right side of the heart has to pump harder to transport blood to the lungs and the ...

Blood clots that block the arteries leading to the lungs are called pulmonary emboli. These blood clots will cause chest pain and shortness of breath, but can also lead to a decrease in oxygen flow in ...

At the time the pressures in the pulmonary arteries were measured, all patients were able to lie flat with complete comfort. Auscultation of the lungs revealed no rales, and roentgenograms of the ...

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle to the lungs. The pulmonary vein returns oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The heart works as a dual ...

Through lung transplantation, we aim to benefit patients with diseases such as cystic fibrosis, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary arterial ...

Pulmonary care is caring for and treating the lungs and respiratory (or breathing) system. This can include many kinds of lung conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary ...
