          Abstract

          Introducción: La Hipertensión arterial pulmonar (HP) se caracteriza por remodelado vascular y disfunción endotelial. Evidencia experimental muestra que el estrés oxidativo juega un rol importante en la patogénesis de la HP. El rol del estrés oxidativo, su relación con la función endotelial periférica y con la respuesta vascular pulmonar a vasodilatadores en pacientes con HP no está aclarada. Objetivo: evaluar parámetros de estrés oxidativo y función endotelial periférica en pacientes con HP y estudiar su relación con la respuesta vascular pulmonar frente a vasodilatadores. Métodos: estudio transversal. Se incluyeron 14 pacientes con HP y 14 controles pareados por edad y sexo. En todos los sujetos se midieron: niveles plasmáticos de malondialdehido (MDA), superóxi-do dismutasa ligada a endotelio (eSOD) y xantino oxidasa (eXO). Vasodilatación dependiente de endotelio mediada por flujo en arteria braquial fue usada como marcador de función endotelial (FDD). Función ventricular derecha y reactividad del lecho vascular pulmonar frente a iloprost inhalado fueron evaluadas ecocardiográficamente en los pacientes con HP Resultados: Los pacientes con HP presentaron FDD disminuida versus los controles (2,8 ± 0,6 vs 10,7% ± 0,6, p< 0,01). Niveles de MDA y eXO aumentados (0,61 ± 0,17 vs 0,34 ± 0,15μM, p<0,01 y 0,039 ± 0,005 vs 0,034 ± 0,004 U/mL1, p=0,02 respectivamente) y actividad de eSOD disminuida (235,55 ± 23 vs 461,41 ± 33 ABC, p<0,01). Iloprost mejora significativamente el gasto cardíaco derecho y disminuye la resistencia vascular pulmonar en los pacientes con HP y este cambio se correlaciona con la actividad de eSOD (Rho: 0,61, p<0,01) y FDD (Rho: 0,63, p=0,01). Conclusiones: Pacientes con HP presentan parámetros de estrés oxidativo elevados y disfunción endotelial periférica La respuesta hemodinámica frente al uso de Iloprost se correlaciona con estos parámetros sugiriendo un rol en la HP cuyo valor clínico deberá ser evaluado.

          Background: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling. Several lines of experimental evidence indícate that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PAH. The role of oxidative stress and its relation with peripheral endothelial function and pulmonary vascular response to vasodilators remains unknown. Aim: To evalúate whether systemic oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction markers are associated with the response of the pulmonary vascular bed to inhaled vasodilators in PAH patients. Methods: Cross-sectional study Fourteen patients with PAH and 14 age and gender-matched controls were in-cluded. Systemic oxidative stress was assessed through plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), xanthine oxidase (eXO) levéis and endothelial-bound superoxide dis-mutase (eSOD) activity Brachial artery endothelial-de-pendent flow-mediated vasodilation (FDD) was used to evalúate endothelial function. Right ventricular function and pulmonary vascular bed reactivity to inhaled vasodilators was determined with echocardiography in PAH patients. Results: Compared to controls, PAH patients showed impaired FDD (2.8 ± 0.6 vs 10.7% ± 0.6, p< 0.01), increased MDA and eXO levéis (0.61 ± 0.17 vs 0.34 ± 0.15μM, p<0.01 and 0.039 ± 0.005 vs 0.034 ± 0.004 U/ mL1, p=0.02 , respectively) and decreased eSOD activity 235.55 ± 23 vs 461.41 ± 33 AUC, p<0.01). Iloprost significantly improved right cardiac output (RCO) and decreased pulmonary vascular resistance. The amount of change in RCO after iloprost inhalation correlated significantly with baseline eSOD activity and FDD (Rho: 0.61, p<0.01 and Rho: 0.63, p=0.01 respectively). Conclusions: PAH patients show increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction markers. Response to inhaled iloprost is closely related with baseline endothelial function and oxidative stress parameters, suggesting an important role of these elements that requires further clinical evaluation.

          Survival in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. Results from a national prospective registry.

          To characterize mortality in persons diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension and to investigate factors associated with survival. Registry with prospective follow-up. Thirty-two clinical centers in the United States participating in the Patient Registry for the Characterization of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Patients (194) diagnosed at clinical centers between 1 July 1981 and 31 December 1985 and followed through 8 August 1988. At diagnosis, measurements of hemodynamic variables, pulmonary function, and gas exchange variables were taken in addition to information on demographic variables, medical history, and life-style. Patients were followed for survival at 6-month intervals. The estimated median survival of these patients was 2.8 years (95% Cl, 1.9 to 3.7 years). Estimated single-year survival rates were as follows: at 1 year, 68% (Cl, 61% to 75%); at 3 years, 48% (Cl, 41% to 55%); and at 5 years, 34% (Cl, 24% to 44%). Variables associated with poor survival included a New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class of III or IV, presence of Raynaud phenomenon, elevated mean right atrial pressure, elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure, decreased cardiac index, and decreased diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Drug therapy at entry or discharge was not associated with survival duration. Mortality was most closely associated with right ventricular hemodynamic function and can be characterized by means of an equation using three variables: mean pulmonary artery pressure, mean right atrial pressure, and cardiac index. Such an equation, once validated prospectively, could be used as an adjunct in planning treatment strategies and allocating medical resources.

            Cellular and molecular basis of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

            Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is caused by functional and structural changes in the pulmonary vasculature, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. The process of pulmonary vascular remodeling is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction, activation of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, crosstalk between cells within the vascular wall, and recruitment of circulating progenitor cells. Recent findings have reestablished the role of chronic vasoconstriction in the remodeling process. Although the pathology of PAH in the lung is well known, this article is concerned with the cellular and molecular processes involved. In particular, we focus on the role of the Rho family guanosine triphosphatases in endothelial function and vasoconstriction. The crosstalk between endothelium and vascular smooth muscle is explored in the context of mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor, alterations in angiopoietin-1/TIE2 signaling, and the serotonin pathway. We also review the role of voltage-gated K(+) channels and transient receptor potential channels in the regulation of cytosolic [Ca(2+)] and [K(+)], vasoconstriction, proliferation, and cell survival. We highlight the importance of the extracellular matrix as an active regulator of cell behavior and phenotype and evaluate the contribution of the glycoprotein tenascin-c as a key mediator of smooth muscle cell growth and survival. Finally, we discuss the origins of a cell type critical to the process of pulmonary vascular remodeling, the myofibroblast, and review the evidence supporting a contribution for the involvement of endothelial-mesenchymal transition and recruitment of circulating mesenchymal progenitor cells.

              Quantitative assessment of pulmonary hypertension in patients with tricuspid regurgitation using continuous wave Doppler ultrasound.

              Doppler ultrasound examination was performed in 69 patients with a variety of cardiopulmonary disorders who were undergoing bedside right heart catheterization. Patients were classified into two groups on the basis of hemodynamic findings. Group I consisted of 20 patients whose pulmonary artery systolic pressure was less than 35 mm Hg and Group II consisted of 49 patients whose pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 35 mm Hg or greater. Tricuspid regurgitation was detected by Doppler ultrasound in 2 of 20 Group I patients and 39 of 49 Group II patients (p less than 0.001). Twenty-six of 27 patients with pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 50 mm Hg had Doppler evidence of tricuspid regurgitation. In patients with tricuspid regurgitation, continuous wave Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the velocity of the regurgitant jet, and by applying the Bernoulli equation, the peak pressure gradient between the right ventricle and right atrium was calculated. There was a close correlation between the Doppler gradient and the pulmonary artery systolic pressure measured by cardiac catheterization (r = 0.97, standard error of the estimate = 4.9 mm Hg). Estimating the right atrial pressure clinically and adding it to the Doppler-determined right ventricular to right atrial pressure gradient was not necessary to achieve accurate results. These findings indicate that tricuspid regurgitation can be identified by Doppler ultrasound in a large proportion of patients with pulmonary hypertension, especially when the pulmonary artery pressure exceeds 50 mm Hg. Calculation of the right ventricular to right atrial pressure gradient in these patients provides an accurate noninvasive estimate of pulmonary artery systolic pressure.
