Background: Pulmonary hypertension due to chronic lung disease (PH-lung) has been demonstrated a poorer outcome compared to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While PAH-specific therapy is not usually recommended, long-term oxygen therapy is the standard treatment for PH-lung. However, acute vasoreactivity to oxygen inhalation is unclear in severe PH-lung.
Methods: Six patients with severe PH-lung who underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) were retrospectively examined changes in pulmonary hemodynamics before and after oxygen inhalation of 10L/min.
Results: The baseline pulmonary hemodynamics were as follows; mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPm) 33.8±7.2 mmHg; pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) 567±102 dyn/S/cm5; cardiac index (CI) 2.01±0.28 L/min/m2. Mixed venous oxygen pressure was decreased at 30.1±2.9 mmHg. PAP and PVR were not altered at change of 8.7±7.4 % and 0.5±18.0 % (p > 0.05), respectively, before and after oxygen inhalation.
Conclusion: Pulmonary vasoreactivity to oxygen inhalation may be blunted in PH-lung with cardiac dysfunction at CI less than 2.5 L/min/m2.
