Pulmonary arterial hypertension after systemic‑to‑pulmonary shunt correction (RCD code: II-1A.4d)
Journal Title: Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension develops in a significant number of patients with congenital heart diseases. Congenital heart diseases predispose to pulmonary vascular remodeling as a result of increased pulmonary blood flow and increased pulmonary pressure. Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart diseases is a major determinant of functional capacity and survival in this group of patients. JRCD 2013; 1 (3): 32–35
