University of Washington Academic Medical Center Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension Of The Newborn Authors References Created Reviewed Revised Table of Contents Nomenclature Definition Changes in Pulmonary Circulation at Birth Pathophysiology ... Outcome Nomenclature Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by systemic arterial hypoxemia secondary to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance with resultant shunting of pulmonary blood flow to the systemic circulation. This pathophysiologic syndrome has been variously described as: Persistent pulmonary vascular obstruction Persistent fetal circulation Pulmonary vasospasm Neonatal pulmonary ischemia Persistent transitional circulation Definition Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is the result of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance to the point that venous blood is diverted to some degree through fetal channels (i. e. the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale) into the systemic circulation and bypassing the lungs, resulting in systemic arterial hypoxemia. This disorder can be classified into three forms dependent on the likely etiology of the pulmonary hypertension: PPHN associated with pulmonary parenchymal disease , such as hyaline membrane disease, meconium aspiration, or transient tachypnea of the newborn as the cause of alveolar hypoxia known as secondary PPHN or appropriate PPHN alveolar oxygen tension appears to be the major determinant of pulmonary artery vasoconstriction.

For Providers Adult Pulmonary Core Curriculum: COPD with Pulmonary Hypertension and Cor Pulmonale Treatment of COPD Written by: Michael W. Peterson, M.D. Joel N. Kline, M.D. Charles Dayton, B.S., R. Ph. Elizabeth Beltz, Pharm. D., R. Ph. Peer Review Status: Externally Reviewed by the Department of Internal Medicine Virtual Hospital Editorial Board Pharmacological COPD treatment should be individualized to maximize benefit and minimize side effects of the medications. The American Thoracic Society recently suggested defining the severity of COPD based on spirometry and designing treatment based on disease severity (1). Regardless of severity, the therapeutic goal is bronchodilation, reducing inflammation, and facilitating expectoration. In patients with mild disease, this can be attained using intermittent inhaled beta agonist drugs. A trial of steroids may also be considered with monitoring for objective response as outlined below. Additional treatment decisions should be based on symptoms and response to treatment. A description of the drug classes available follows. Short and long-acting beta-agonist inhalers: These metered dose inhaled beta-agonist bronchodilators are the mainstay of treatment for COPD. However, the most appropriate dosing and dosing intervals have not been extensively studied. Most patients use the short acting inhalers at two puffs four daily, either scheduled or as needed. New, long-acting formulations might be useful when administered at bedtime to patients who report nocturnal symptoms. It is important to remember that the response to bronchodilators on spirometry does not identify all patients who will benefit from these agents. Clinical response should guide the use of the medication. Patients must use the metered dose inhalers appropriately to benefit, and instructions on the proper use of aerosol inhalers is mandatory for maximal effect. The National Asthma Education Program has published guidelines to aid health care professionals in

Know Your Blood Pressure High blood pressure is called hypertension. Hypertension does not mean emotional tension. What it does mean is that the pressure, or tension, in your blood vessels is too high. "Bellissima" by Judy Lodwick, Australia High blood pressure is a silent killer. There are no symptoms until the pressure is too high, or it causes damage to vital organs, like the heart or kidneys. Everyone needs some blood pressure in their arteries. When your heart beats it pumps blood through the arteries (or pipes) to bring nourishment to the tissues. The force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is called the blood pressure. The systolic pressure occurs after the heartbeat and is the higher reading. The lower pressure, or diastolic pressure, is the pressure in the arteries in-between heartbeats. If the arteries or pipes become narrowed or clogged, then the heart has to pump harder to deliver the blood to the tissues, and the pressure in the arteries goes up. If the pressure in your arteries is 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or more, and remains at that level, you have high blood pressure (hypertension). What Are the Consequences of Uncontrolled Hypertension?

Blood pressure Alternative names Return to top High blood pressure Definition Return to top Hypertension means high blood pressure. This generally means: Systolic blood pressure is consistently over 140 (systolic is the "top" number of your blood pressure measurement, which represents the pressure generated when the heart beats) Diastolic blood pressure is consistently over 90 (diastolic is the "bottom" number of your blood pressure measurement, which represents the pressure in the vessels when the heart is at rest) Either or both of these numbers may be too high. Pre-hypertension is when your systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 139 or your diastolic blood pressure is between 90 and 99 on multiple readings. If you have pre-hypertension, you are likely to develop high blood pressure at some point. Therefore, your doctor will recommend lifestyle changes to bring your blood pressure down to normal range.
