Background and objective
In interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a major adverse prognostic determinant. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most widely used tool when screening for PH, although discordance between TTE and right heart catheter (RHC) measured pulmonary haemodynamics is increasingly recognized. We evaluated the predictive utility of the updated European...
Background and objective
Nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐kB)‐mediated inflammatory gene expression and vascular endothelial cell proliferation/remodelling are implicated in the pathophysiology of the fatal disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Bromodomain and extra‐terminal (BET) proteins are essential for the expression of a subset of NF‐kB‐induced inflammatory genes. BET mimics including JQ1+...
Background and objective: Limited data suggest a benefit following sildenafil treatment in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). The role of sildenafil in the management of PH in ILD is not clear. We report our experience of ILD patients with PH after 6‐month sildenafil therapy.
Methods: We reviewed 15 patients (mean age 55 ± 15 years; 8 men) with ILD (mean...
