“…Complications of sleep apnoea may manifest as pulmonary hypertension and right ventricle hypertrophy (cor pulmonale) [1,2]. In 1965, Noonan described the occurence of cor pulmonale in patients with adenotonsillar hypertrophy [3].…”

“…[8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17][18] In our study, both TAPSE and RVFAC values were found to be recover significantly in proportion to the decrease in pulmonary artery pressure after FESS. We did not find any significant difference in tricuspid inflow parameters (E, A and E/A) which are the indicators of RV diastolic function.…”

“…In two similarly designed previous studies, it was shown that on postoperative third month evaluation, there was a mean decrease in pulmonary artery pressure of 4 and 6 mmHg, respectively. [16][17] In our study we evaluated the patients during the first month control after surgery. If the follow-up period were longer, we could possibly detect much more decrease in pulmonary artery pressure.…”

“…All those parameters are affected by factors other than RVO and neither one of them is a direct measure of RVO. Despite that, they were commonly used to infer improvement in RVO after relieving upper airway obstruction [9][10][11][12]14,15].…”

“…RV dilatation and reduced RV ejection fraction were seen even before clinical signs of cardiac involvement became evident [9,12]. Many of these reports as well as other more recent systematic studies demonstrated a reduction in PAP after adenoidectomy [10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, it is not clear whether this decline in PAP would be reflected on RVO, the ultimate and more meaningful measure of RV function.…”
