Pulmonary hypertension caused by left heart disease

Abstract: Increased resistance to pulmonary venous drainage is the main mechanism in pulmonary hypertension (PH) developing due to left heart disease. This condition may occur as a result of various diseases affecting left ventricle, left atrium, mitral or aortic valves. Pulmonary hypertension is the common and well-recognized complication of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension accompanying chronic heart failure is related to increased mortality. Treatment should be tailored accordi… Show more

“…It is reasonable to expect global myocardial dysfunction in both ventricles due to increased right ventricle after-load and low arterial tension values due to the left ventricle's compression on the right ventricle during systole in patients with PAH. 29 In accordance with the medical literature, a significantly lower systolic blood pressure was detected in the patient group of this study, compared to the controls (P ¼ 0.040).…”
