Evolution of pulmonary hypertension over 20 years of observation in a patient with COPD is presented. Originally patient presented with normal pulmonary arterial pressure. First bout of pulmonary hypertension was observed during severe pulmonary infection resulting in respiratory failure. Smoking cessation, regular use of bronchodilators and antibiotics during bacterial exacerbations produced long-term stabilisation of FEV1, blood gases and pulmonary arterial pressure.
本文呈现了一名慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者在20年观察期内肺动脉高压的演变情况。该患者最初肺动脉压正常。首次观察到肺动脉高压是在严重肺部感染导致呼吸衰竭期间。戒烟、在细菌感染加重期定期使用支气管扩张剂和抗生素使第一秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)、血气和肺动脉压长期稳定。
