Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is often associated with elevations in pulmonary artery pressures. Although primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been associated with primary graft dysfunction (PGD), the role of secondary P

Background It has been suggested that the presence of emphysema modifies the outcome of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In this article we compare clinical features, smoking history, pulmonary function, estimated systolic pulmonary

Pulmonary hypertension is a common finding in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therapy with sildenafil has been shown to decrease pulmonary vascular resistance in patients wi

Background Previous studies on pulmonary hypertension (PH) in systemic sclerosis and related disorders used differing patient populations, and defined PH according to different criteria. We have attempted to determine the prevalence and cause of PH i

We performed a morphometric analysis of peribronchiolar and perivascular fibrosis in lungs obtained at autopsy from six patients with chronic bronchitis, six with pulmonary emphysema, and four normal control subjects. The areas of fibrosis outside th

We have developed a method to screen for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients, based on a formula to predict mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) from standard lung function measurements. The objective of this

Noninvasive multigated equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography with krypton-81m (81mKr) was used to assess right heart relaxation in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases (CPD). The subjects consisted of 30 patients with CPD and 8 patients free

We report a case of sarcoidosis presenting with cor pulmonale of a greater severity than would be expected from the degree of hypoxia and pulmonary fibrosis. Right heart catheterization revealed that mean pulmonary artery pressure was markedly increa

Study objectives: To assess the clinical relevance of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A reductase inhibitors (statins) in the context of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Background: IPF is a

Open lung biopsy specimens in 72 patients were submitted for evaluation of pulmonary vascular disease. In nine instances, the specimens were inadequate for this purpose. Essentially, there were three indications for taking a lung biopsy specimen. The
