Pulmonary hypertension associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: morphofunctional characteristics of pulmonary artery branches and their relationship with functional cardiorespiratory status
Abstract:The aim of the study was to investigate functional status of cardiorespiratory system and post-mortem morphometric characteristics of the heart and the lung arteries in secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A retrospective analysis of functional status of cardiorespiratory system in 10 died patients with IPF (5 males and 5 females, the average age, 63.1 ± 9.2 yrs) was performed. During the last 6 months of their life, all the patients were investigated using… Show more
