PVRI Review 2010 2(1):5-11

The field of pulmonary hypertension pathogenesis has struggled with the pseudo-dichotomy of the causal role of pulmonary vascular endothelium vis-ΰ-vis smooth muscle cells as the central element of the disease. Medial hypertrophy and intima thickening due to migration or proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is seen in all forms of pulmonary hypertension, while endothelial cell lesions, particularly plexiform and concentric lesions, predominate in cases of severe pulmonary hypertension. Growing insight that the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension involves metabolic alterations of pulmonary vascular cells, including vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells, opens new venues for therapies and diagnoses.]]> http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=5;epage=11;aulast=Tuder Biomarkers in pulmonary hypertension Gustavo A Heresi Raed A Dweik Review Article PVRI Review 2010 2(1):12-16doi:10.4103/0974-6013.58623 PVRI Review 10.4103/0974-6013.58623 http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=12;epage=16;aulast=Heresi http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=12;epage=16;aulast=Heresi21 12 16 http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=12;epage=16;aulast=Heresi Gustavo A Heresi, Raed A Dweik

Right ventricular (RV) function is an important determinant of prognosis in a large number of cardiopulmonary disease conditions and its assessment is a challenge in day-to-day clinical practice, mostly because of the complex geometry of the chamber. The search for, and validation of reliable indexes of RV function are ongoing. In particular, a large body of evidence has accumulated regarding the use of the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) as an index of RV systolic function in a variety of pathologic conditions. We will review the different areas of application of TAPSE to date. ]]> http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=17;epage=21;aulast=Zeineh PVRI Brazil chapter PVRI ACTIVITIES 2009 - IN PICTURES PVRI Review 2010 2(1):21-21PVRI Review http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=21;epage=21;aulast= http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=21;epage=21;aulast=21 21 21 http://www.pvrireview.org/article.asp?issn=0974-6013;year=2010;volume=2;issue=1;spage=21;epage=21;aulast=
