Items for "pulmonary hypertension"
Aim: To determine whether plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) relates to clinical manifestations of sepsis in the newborn, especially with systemic hypotension, acidosis, severe hypoxemia (which may represent pulmonary hypertension) and oliguria.
Methods: Prospective study of 35 consecutive newborns with clinical sepsis: 22 with hemoculture-positive (HC+) sepsis and 13 hemoculture-negative (HC–)...

Objectives: To correlate estimated pulmonary artery pressures (PAP) by echocardiography with right heart catheterization (RHC) measurements and to correlate estimated left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiography with cardiac output (CO) measurements by RHC.
Study design: All women who had echocardiography at a single institution during a 6-year period and underwent RHC during pregnancy were included...
