1 5 consecutive cases of PH I wish I never saw Abubakr A Bajwa. MD, FCCP Associate Professor of Medicine Division Chief Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Director Pulmonary Hypertension and Interstitial Lung Disease Clinic (Not a Center of Comprehensive Care) yet University of Florida College of Medicine/Jacksonville

2 Case 1 62 y.o. male with PMH of COPD (on home oxygen at 4L/min), MI in 2002 (stent to LCx), Ventricular Fibrillation following MI in 2002 (s/p pacemaker), HLD, PFO, DM, Gout, OSA (on BiPAP at home for hrs of sleep), Former cigarette smoker who was transferred from Hospital following NSTEMI and AECOPD. LHC cath did not show any significant CAD

8 Repeat Echo 1. - Study Quality - Adequate Normal left ventricular size and wall thickness. Moderate global left ventricular dysfunction. Septal motion due to RV pressurevolume overload. Left ventricular ejection fraction ranges from 35-40% Moderate right ventricular enlargement. Hypokinetic wall motion and decreased function. Estimated RV systolic pressure is 72 mmhg, assuming right atrial pressure equals 5 mmhg consistent with severe pulmonary hypertension. 4. Tachycardia 120 BPM

10 Above 10 ng/kg/min he would get more SOB and more hypoxic despite PAOP never going above 16

15 Due to worsening lung infiltrates and hypoxia despite being on Bpap decided to intubate, patient died of cardiac arrest immediately post intubation Family declined autopsy

16 Was this PVOD or PAH on TOP of systolic HF?

17 Case 2 65 with CAD s/p CABG latest EF by echo around 50% No significant CAD by L heart cath in sept 2013 He had a R heart cath done and it showed that his PCWP and LVEDP was 15 PA mean was about 48 and C.I was about 1.8, he was given nipride which improved his PA mean to 30s and improved C.O?? Subsequently he was started on Revatio 20 mg TID but clinically did not improve. He then saw Dr ABCD who stopped his sildenafil and started him on Norvasc He has WHO class 3 symptoms, He cannot lay flat unless he has his CPAP on which he uses regularly for his sleep apnea, He is on diuretics for LE edema but he feels more swelling in his abdomen than legs. He also has an ICD in place. He thinks the SOB started fairly acutely about 2 years ago.

18 RHC HR MAP - 95 mmhg RA - 20 mmhg PA systolic - 75 mmhg PA diastolic - 50 mmhg PA mean - 58 mmhg PCWP - 24 mmhg CO (thermodilution) L/min CI (thermodilution) L/min/m2 BSA 2.27 TPG (PAD-PCWP) - 34 PVR dyn.s/cm5 SVR dyn.s/cm5 Chamber sats Arterial % Low SVC % PA % CO (Fick's) L/min CI (Fick's) L/min/m2 PVR (Fick's) Dyn.s/cm5 SVR (Fick's) Dyn.s/cm5 Vasodilator Testing: After 20 ppm of NO for 20 min: HR - 98 MAP - 98 mmhg RA - 17 mmhg PA systolic - 66 mmhg PA diastolic - 45 mmhg PA mean - 52 mmhg PCWP - 24 mmhg CO (thermodilution) L/min CI (thermodilution) L/min/m2 BSA 2.27 TPG (PAD - PCWP) - 28 PVR dyn.s/cm5 SVR dyn.s/cm5

19 VQ scan Normal LFTs and hepatitis serologies normal or negative

20 Echo Study Quality: Adequate for Interpretation LV Function: There is mild to moderate global LV dysfunction. Septal motion due to RV pressurevolume overload and IVCD. LV Size/Thickness: Normal left ventricular size and wall thickness. Wall Motion: The basal inferolateral segment, and the mid inferolateral segment are hypokinetic. The apex is akinetic. The basal anteroseptum, basal inferoseptum, mid anteroseptum, and the mid inferoseptum are asynchronous. All other segments contract normally. Doppler Findings: Mild mitral regurgitation. Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation. Mild pulmonic regurgitation. Estimated RV systolic pressure is 51 mmhg, assuming right atrial pressure equals 15 mmhgâ consistent with moderate pulmonary hypertension.

21 Echo (contd) Right Ventricle: The right ventricle is markedly enlarged. Akinesis of the RV free wall is seen. An echogenic mass consistent with a catheter is seen. Hypokinetic wall motion and decreased function. Left Atrium: Mild left atrial enlargement. Right Atrium: Marked right atrial enlargement. An echogenic mass consistent with a catheter is seen. Aorta: Normal aorta. Pulmonary Artery: Normal pulmonary artery. Mitral Valve: Normal mitral valve. Aortic Valve: Normal aortic valve. Tricuspid Valve: Normal tricuspid valve. Pulmonic Valve: Normal pulmonic valve. Pericardium: Normal pericardium. IV bubble contrast : A right-left intra atrial shunt is detected that appears to be coming from the left pulmonary veins

24 Unspecified ILD, too risky to biopsy but could be sarcoidosis Severe PH with elevated L sided pressures Started on inh. Treprostinil after extensive discussion with patient Clinically improved but remained hypoxic Died suddenly at home after about 12 months of stability

25 Case 3 Massive acute PE on a background of chronic PE 1/2013. Course complicated by retroperitoneal bleed after tpa x2. Hemodynamics 3/2013 revealed severe disease with mean PAP 55mmHg RAP 15 CO/Cl 4.1 and 2.1 PVR Initially treated with high dosed sildenafil and repeat RHC 12/2013 showed progression. PTE on 4/8/2015. Despite large amount of chronic clot removal, IVC filter placed he had evidence of significant residual pulmonary HTN.

26 Post-op day 4 RAP 16 PAP 66/33 (42) CVP used for PAOP CO/CI 4.8/2.5 PVR 5.5

27 Started on Adempas since did not tolerate Sildenafil Echo mentions: Severe RA and RV dilation with pressure volume overload and a 2.3 x 1.5 cm mass that up takes contrast so likely not thrombus??? Est PASP 90 Continued on Adempas
