The nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. This condition increases upper airway resistance. In This study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in patients with markedly deviated septum.
Sixty two patients with NSD (Age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. Mean pulmonary artery pressure was measured in preoperative period by Doppler echocardiography with the assistance of an expert cardiologist.
The mean preoperative MPAP value (22.5 mmHg in men and 20.03 mmHg in women) of the patients in this study was higher than normal population (20 mmHg). The MPAP of nine patients (14.5%) was greater than 25 mmHg. This value was significantly higher than values for normal population.
Markedly deviated septum had improper effects in cardiovascular system due to increase in MPAP.
鼻中隔偏曲(NSD)是鼻阻塞的主要原因之一。这种情况会增加上呼吸道阻力。在本研究中,我们评估了鼻中隔明显偏曲患者的平均肺动脉压(MPAP)。
本研究纳入了62例鼻中隔偏曲患者(年龄范围:26 - 45岁,男性34例,女性28例)。术前在专业心脏病专家的协助下,通过多普勒超声心动图测量平均肺动脉压。
本研究中患者的术前平均MPAP值(男性为22.5 mmHg,女性为20.03 mmHg)高于正常人群(20 mmHg)。9例患者(14.5%)的MPAP大于25 mmHg。该值显著高于正常人群的值。
由于MPAP升高,明显偏曲的鼻中隔对心血管系统有不良影响。
