Pulmonary hypertension, defined as an elevation in blood pressure in the pulmonary
arteries, is associated with an increased risk of death. The prevalence of pulmonary …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure of> 25mm Hg
at rest, is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period. The …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known risk factor for perioperative complications. Unlike
in the case of cardiac surgery, PH is currently not listed as an independent risk factor for …

OBJECTIVES: Perioperative risk associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients
undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS) remains poorly defined. We report perioperative …

Pulmonary hypertension is a complex disorder of the pulmonary vasculature that leads to
increased peri‐operative morbidity and mortality. Non‐cardiac surgery constitutes a …

Objectives: We sought to determine the predictors of short-term morbidity and mortality (< 30
days) after noncardiac surgery in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Background …

Pulmonary hypertension is an important prognostic factor in cardiac surgery associated with
increased morbidity and mortality. With the aging population and the associated increase …

Pulmonary hypertension is a major reason for elevated perioperative morbidity and
mortality, even in noncardiac surgical procedures. Patients should be thoroughly prepared …

Anesthesia and surgery are associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality in
patients with pulmonary hypertension due mainly to right ventricular failure, arrhythmias …

Background Whether and how pulmonary hypertension (PH) impacts perioperative outcome
in non-cardiac surgery is incompletely understood. Methods From November 1999, all …
