What is PH ? What is PAH ?

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is defined as an increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure 25 mmHg at rest≧

Pulmonary hypertension is a hemodynamic and pathophysiological state that can be found in multiple clinical condition

1. Pulmonary arterial hypertension

• 1.1Idiopathic PAH

• 1.2 Heritable

• 1.3 Drugs and toxin related

• 1.4 Associated with (APAH) 1.4.1 Connective tissue diseases

1.4.2 HIV 1.4.3 Portal hypertension 1.4.4 Congenital heart diseases 1.4.5 Schistosomiasis

1.4.6 Chronic haemolytic anaemia

• 1.5 Persist PH of the newborn

1’ Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease

3. PH with Lung Diseases/Hypoxemia

• 3.1 COPD

• 3.2 Interstitial lung diseases

3.3 mixed restrictive and obstructive pattern

• 3.4 Sleep-disordered breathing

3.5 Alveolar hypoventilation disorders

3.6 Chronic exposure to high altitude

• 3.7 Developmental abnormalities

4. Chronic thromboembolicPH • TE obstruction of proximal PA • TE obstruction of distal PA • Non thrombotic P embolism

5. PH with unclear and /or

multifactorial mechanisms

Dana Point 2008

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Diagnostic Classification

2. PH with left heart disease • 2.1 Systolic dysfunction • 2.2 Diastolic dysfunction 2.3 Valvular disease

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension Elevated pressure in the pulmonary vascular bed,

without specify the location of the pathology

Pulmonary arterial hypertension Elevated pressure in the pulmonary vascular bed,

specially ascribed to pathology in the pulmonary arterial tree.

Definition of PAH by WHO

Mean PAP > 25mmHg at rest

PAWP < 15 mmHg

What do we face ?

Rare Miss diagnosis Rapid progress Poor prognosis

Really rare ? Or Under diagnosis?

Prevalence of PAH

PAH is a rare disease: Prevalence of PAH

France: – 15 cases/million

England and Wales:– Severe PAH: 30–50 cases/million

Estimated prevalence of 120,000 pts with PAH in theUSA, EU, Canada and Japan.- US 50,000 to 100,000- 15,000 to 25,000 diagnosed and treated

Estimated 260,000 pts hospitalized/year with all cause PH in USA (medicare database)

Prevalence of PAH in Associated Conditions

Associated Condition Prevalence of PAHSystemic sclerosis 7-12 %

HIV infection 0.46-0.5 %

Portal hypertension 2-6 %

Congenital heart disease 1.6-12.5 per million in those with congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts → 25-50 % affected by Eisenmenger syndrome

Schistosomiasis 4.6 % in those with hepatosplenic disease

Chronic hemolytic anemia Highly variable; currently being studied

NYHA/WHO classification of functional status

Class Description

IPatients with pulmonary hypertension in whom there is no limitation of usual physical activity: ordinary physical activity does not cause increased dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain or pre-syncope

IIPatients with pulmonary hypertension who have mild limitation of physical activity. There is no discomfort at rest but normal physical activity causes increased dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain or pre-syncope

IIIPatients with pulmonary hypertension who have a marked limitation of physical activity. There is no discomfort at rest but less than ordinary activity causes increased dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain or pre-syncope

IV

Patients with pulmonary hypertension who are unable to perform any physical activity and who may have signs of right ventricular failure at rest. Dyspnoea and/or fatigue may be present at rest and symptoms are increased by almost any physical activity

PAH is still often diagnosed late:French National Registry 2002–2003

Symptoms

– Symptoms may include:• Dyspnea ● Fatigue• Syncope ● Edema• Dizziness ● Chest Pain

– Non-specific nature of complaint can lead to:• Misdiagnosis • Delayed diagnosis ( It takes an average of 3 years from

first symptoms to diagnosis )

Why is missed?

Young patient with non specific symptom with “normal” CXR and EKG

Lack of practical therapy in the earlier era lead to therapeutic nihilism

Co-mobid condition have similar symptoms

Progressive Dyspnea Pedal edema Non-productive

How long do I have ? How can I do ?

Could you help me ?

How can your patient do ?

PAH Therapy: Life style considerations

Sodium restriction

Abstinence from smoking

Avoid high altitude

• <4,000 feet above sea level

Avoid physical exertion in setting of pre- or frank

syncope

Avoid pregnancy

Immunization for illnesses (Influenza and

pneumococcal vaccination)

Could we help patient ?

Goals of Therapy

Alleviate symptoms, improve exercise capacity and quality of life

Improve cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and prevent right heart failure

Delay time to clinical worsening Reduce morbidity and mortality

PAH: Traditional Therapy

Pharmacologic

– Calcium channel blocker

– Supplemental O2

– Anticoagulation (INR≈ 2-3)

– Diuretics (excessive preload)

– Digoxin

– IV inotropes (low dose dobutamine,

dopamine 1-2 mcg/kg/min)Rx for RV

failure}

Diuretics

Treat edema May need combine therapy

Anticoagulation

Studies only show benefit in iPAH patients Other PAH groups not as clear Aim for INR 2-2.5 Benefit thought to be Reduction of in-situ thrombosis Reduction DVT risk in low CO status

Oxygen

Formal assessment of nocturnal and exertion oxygen levels

Minimal added insult of hypoxic vasocontriction

Aim to keep oxygen saturation > 90% Often impossible in large right to left shunt

patients

Management Principles

Optimal volume status: avoid filling if RV volume overload, diuretics if necessary

Augment CO

Reduce PVR :

a) use pulmonary vasodilators

b)treat reversible factors that may increase PVR

Maintain adequate systemic pressure: Keep PVR well below SVR; use pressors if necessary

Course of hospitalization

• ICU– Milrinone infusion– Diuretics for symptom– Bosentan 125mg bid po– Iloprost 5 mg q4h inhalation– Sildenafil 25mg tid po

• Symptom improved gradually• Shift iloprost to prn use• Discharge on 2010/07/13

– Bosentan 125mg bid + Sildenafil 25 mg tid + iloprost 5mg inhalation prn

Mechanical Devices

Devices indication CommentsRV-assist devices Used in primary RV

dysfunction and have been used with coexisting

PH

Pulsatile devices may cause pulmonary

microcirculatory damage in PH . A pumpless "lung assist" device has been used in patients bridging

to transplant.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Used in severe PH as a bridge to lung transplant and after endarterectomy

or massive PE.

Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation

Used for RV failure after CPB and transplantation

Improves CO by augmenting left coronary flow rather than by direct

RV effects
