Download or read book Pulmonary Hypertension in Adult Congenital Heart Disease written by Konstantinos Dimopoulos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a comprehensive, practically oriented reference on pulmonary hypertension within the context of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). After an introductory chapter on pathophysiology, the various types of pulmonary hypertension that may be encountered in ACHD are discussed, highlighting the specifics observed within different patient categories. The diagnostic approach is then addressed in detail, and the last section of the book is devoted to management options, from conservative approaches to interventional treatment and the concept of treat and repair. Management in specific patient subjects, such as pregnant women, Fontan patients, and Down syndrome patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, is fully discussed, and guidance is also provided on palliative care. Pulmonary arterial hypertension related to congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD), despite significant similarities in lung pathohysiology, differs significantly from other types of PAH in terms of mechanism of onset, natural history and management. Mistakes and pitfalls in the management of patients with PAH-CHD are often related to a lack of knowledge or expertise in this condition. Pulmonary Hypertension in Adult Congenital Heart Disease will be a valuable resource and learning tool for all who care for patients with ACHD, both in tertiary practice and general cardiology.

Download or read book Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension written by Marcus Ramsey and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The defects present in the structure of the heart or the great vessels at the time of birth are studied under congenital heart disease. Depending on the specific type of the defect, symptoms can vary from none to life-threatening. Rapid breathing, bluish skin, poor weight gain, and tiredness are some of its major symptoms. CHD complications can lead to heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension is a common condition in adults with CHD. It leads to increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. Its aim is to present researches that have transformed this field and aided its advancement. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
