pulmonary arterial hypertension right heart catheterization :: Article Creator Ensuring Appropriate Access To Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Therapy Am J Manag Care. 2019;25:-S0 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, complex disease. PAH is a type of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and can be further categorized into 7 subdivisions, representing a variety of causal and phenotypic factors. Patients with PH, including PAH, are typically fragile and experience multiple comorbidities; they therefore require individualized treatment plans based on their risk status and etiology. Based on a review of clinical evidence, a wide variety of treatment options exist for PAH, including general measures (eg, physical activity and oral anticoagulants), nonspecific pharmacologic intervention (eg, calcium channel blockers), and targeted pharmacologic intervention. Guidelines point to a flexible approach, frequently including upfront or sequential com...

thyroid blood pressure :: Article Creator I Have Very High Blood Pressure, Dizziness And Vomiting – Tablets Don't Work, Please Help! IT'S something we don't miss until it's gone – our hearing.

The researchers cannot say hearing loss causes dementia, but it's not the first time that the link has been made. Check your hearing with the Ro...

ischaemic heart failure :: Article Creator VANISH2 Bolsters Data Backing VT Ablation In Ischemic Cardiomyopathy SAN DIEGO, CA—Catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias is beneficial for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, affirms a new meta-analysis updated to include the VANISH2 trial results. Compared with medical management, ablation was associated with lower rates of recurrent ventricular arrhythmias, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks, ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm, hospitalization, and major adverse cardiac events, Girish Nair, MBBS (University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Canada), reported here at Heart Rhythm 2025. The addition of the positive VANISH2 trial to the evidence base "reinforces that catheter ablation is superior to medical management," Nair said. "It has refined the estimation of catheter ablation for management of ventricular arrhythmias, and due to the difficulty of replicating the ...
