Background The differential diagnosis between pre- and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension
(PH) is of major therapeutic relevance and thus requires optimal clinical probability …

Guenard, Jean-Benoît Martinot, and Robert Naeije. Effects of sildenafil on exercise capacity in …

Background Exercise‐induced increase in pulmonary artery systolic pressure ( PASP ) as a
possible measure of right ventricular ( RV ) contractile reserve has been shown to predict …

Right ventricular function is frequently abnormal in patients with systemic sclerosis, but
whether this is related to pulmonary vascular complications of the disease is unclear. Standard …

Hypoxia has been reported to alter left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, but associated
changes in right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic function remain incompletely documented…

Tibetans have been reported to present with a unique phenotypic adaptation to high altitude
characterized by higher resting ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation, no excessive …

Vehicle dynamics is an essential topic in development of safety driving systems. These
complex and integrated control units require precise information about vehicle dynamics, …

Aerobic exercise capacity is decreased at altitude because of combined decreases in arterial
oxygenation and in cardiac output. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction could limit cardiac …

Aims A simple echocardiographic score was designed for diagnosing precapillary vs
postcapillary pulmonary hypertension and for discriminating between isolated postcapillary …
