- 探索肺血管改造和COPD中肺气之间的关系.
- 为了区分COPD的组织学特征与不同程度的PH.
主要方法:
- 肺动脉和气道重塑的定量分析,使用专用软件在扩展的肺部.
- 使用平均交叉体距离 (MID) 测量肺气的严重程度.
- 在严重的PH COPD (SevPH-COPD),轻度PH COPD (MildPH-COPD),没有PH COPD (NoPH-COPD),异常性肺动脉高血压 (IPAH) 和健康的供体肺之间进行比较.
主要成果:
- 与MildPH-COPD相比,SevPH-COPD患者表现出更好的强迫生命能力,显著减少肺气 (MID 169微米 vs. 279微米),并减少了呼吸道炎症标志物.
- 在COPD患者中,肺动脉内部和中间加厚与肺动脉平均压力 (mPAP) 密切相关.

Understanding the variety of primary symptoms and systemic complications that characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial for healthcare professionals.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

180
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Heart failure (HF) is a progressive syndrome involving ventricles that leads to inadequate cardiac output. It can be classified based on location and output or ejection fraction. Ejection fraction (EF) is an essential measurement in the diagnosis and surveillance of HF. Reduced EF corresponds to systolic heart failure (HFrEF). However, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Also known as diastolic HF, this form of HF is related to aging. The...
