| PubMedID- 22498327 | Objectives: this study investigated whether right ventricular (rv) adaptation to chronic pressure overload is associated with pulmonary artery (pa) stiffness beyond the degree of severity of pulmonary hypertension (ph). |
| PubMedID- 20567638 | In one report it was shown that the overall cardiovascular prognosis was good if the serum ferritin is below 2500 ng/dl; the low ferritin of <1000 ng/dl was associated with normal lvef% while high level was associated with low lvef%.29 in another study, however, right sided heart failure was reported in 16% of β-tm patients with high serum ferritin of >2500 ng/ml.30 therefore, the iron overload in the current study appears to mediate the impaired diastolic function with the development of pulmonary hypertension leading to stiffness of the myocardial wall. |
| PubMedID- 25732062 | Conclusions: common carotid artery diameter and stiffness increase in patients with chd-related pulmonary hypertension. |
