Idiopathic and Systemic Sclerosis associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Comparison of Demographic, Haemodynamic and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics and Outcomes.
CONCLUSION: The reasons for poorer outcomes in SSc-PAH are likely to be multifactorial including, but not limited to, older age and reduced gas transfer. PMID: 28223154 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patent foramen ovale and stroke in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
CONCLUSIONS: PFO and related ischemic strokes are frequent in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism. TEE is much more efficient than TTE for PFO diagnostic. Considering the high risk of intra-cranial bleeding with thrombolysis in PE, which in part may be due to haemorrhagic transformation of sub-clinical strokes, screening PFO with TEE should be considered in intermediate risk PE when a thrombolytic treatment is discussed.

Percent emphysema and right ventricular structure and function: The MESA Lung and MESA-RV Studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Percent emphysema was associated with smaller RV volumes and lower mass. The relationship of emphysema to cardiac function is complex but likely involves increased pulmonary vascular resistance predominantly with reduced cardiac output, pulmonary hyperinflation, and accelerated cardiopulmonary aging.
