DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13956
Abstract: Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)‐guided therapy in patients with heart failure (HF) using the CardioMEMS (CMM) device, an implantable PAP sensor, has been shown to reduce HF hospitalizations in previous studies. We sought to evaluate the… read more here.

Possible use of pulmonary artery stiffness in screening for portopulmonary hypertension
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Clinical Ultrasound"
DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23240
Abstract: Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is characterized by portal hypertension leading to splanchnic vasodilatation and formation of portosystemic shunts. These phenomena contribute directly to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, which is exacerbated by vasoactive substances able… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000026988
Abstract: Abstract With the declining use of the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become an appealing alternative to obtain pulmonary artery pressure non-invasively using the simplified Bernoulli equation. The validation of this method… read more here.
