Zusammenfassung

Objectives: The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the suitability of hemodynamic parameters assessed by the indirect Fick method in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and controls. Methods: For this purpose right heart catheterization was performed in 42 PAH patients (age: 61±13 years, 29 females) and 9 controls in supine position. 61% of the patients revealed the diagnosis of an idiopathic PAH (n=26), 28% suffered from PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (n=12) and the remaining 11% were distributed to drugs and toxins induced PAH (n=3) and PAH associated with po…
