Tadalafil pulmonary hypertension
Common Questions and Answers about Tadalafil pulmonary hypertension

I know that drugs like Viagra etc,,, are used for pulmonary hypertension as well as erectile dysfunction. I'm a nurse and had a guy come on our floor with sildenafil as a regular medication. I asked the doctor why and he said the pulmonary hypertension. So I could see a use for what your husband said.
Kenkeith, thank you. I have a ? for you based on your response. The pulmonary artery pressure I am referring to is noted in my Echo at the Tricuspid Valve. It specifically says Ticuspid Vale then mentions the regurgitation.
It then says Pulmonary artery pressure is estimated at 40 mm HG. Everything I have read that says this amt. of Pulmonary artery pressure indicates Pulmonary Hypertension.
Is the pulmonary hypertension causing the right ventricle enlargement and the tricuspid regurgitation and would this then be primary pulmonary hypertension. Or, can you explain what is causing her pulmonary hypertension.
I have been told my my mother's cardiologist that her tricuspid regurgitation is causing the pulmonary hypertension. But I have talked to other doctors that tell me that the pulmonary hypertension is causing the tricuspid regurgitation.
i have tested my theory many times since the early 1980s. i was born 1952. my first experience with pulmonary hypertension was after an surgery had sodempentathall was my anesthetic .
is it Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or is it so-called Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension, the most common causes of which include recurrent pulmonary emboli (clots to the lung), disease of a heart valve, or estrogen or appetite suppressant therapy.
While pulmonary hypertension is a somewhat common disease, the cause may not immediately evident to one’s doctors.
What questions should I ask? Does it appear that I have pulmonary hypertension? I am getting very short of breath with a little exertion. It is becoming very difficult to breathe. Thanks.
Mean pulmonary artery pressure is ≥25 mmHg at rest
Mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <15 mmHg
This should not be affected by the size of the individual.
If HOCM has been treated the incidence of pulmonary hypertension is usually less. And pulmonary hypertension can be due to other causes also. It may indicate a poorer prognosis, but this depends on the clinical symptoms and others cardiac factors. Regards.
Anyone been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension during their pregnancy? I am 15 wks, my cardiologist and OB dr. have me set up to see a high risk OB dr. Extremely nervous not knowing what to expect..everything I've Google searched has me in tears. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
Anyway I read on the report that my RVSP was 43mmhg. I know that it should not be above 35, anything higher than that is pulmonary hypertension. Some sources even say it should exceed 25 at rest. The test also showed mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. My question is should I be worried about this? If the RVSP is 43 then it's clearly above normal, yet the doctor made no mention of it. Is it time to find another doctor or is it indeed normal?
I'm not certain, but I think it can cause PH. Supplemental o2 at night may help but if you have sleep apnea causing the low level, that needs to be treated with cpap or bipap. If you indeed have elevated pulmonary pressures, you need a right heart cath to definitively diagnosis it as echoes are only an estimate and can be WAY off.
Clearly the cath showed normal pressures and thus you can rest assured that you do not have pulmonary hypertension.
Second, regarding the RV, I would consider getting a repeat echo, perhaps at another institution (ie a 2nd opinion). Alternatively, you can get the echo again at the same place and see if they now call the RV normal. The RV is sometimes difficult to image and often there can be some "funky" results. But, it may also be the quality of the echo lab.
Can you have pulmonary hypertension if your oxygen saturations are in the 90s to a 100 Percent all the time?
5 phentermine pills to lost weight she gave it to her every 3months for a year with no break and 1year and a half later she was diagnose with pulmonary hypertension and she never had a history of problem before taking this pill she played basketball for her school and passed out playing one night so i stop her from playing basketball and that was the start of my nightmare with this disease i alway read u got to be 16 years old and u can only take it for 3 months out of the year and that's fo
My mom has had pulmonary hypertension for about a year now how long is life span with this disease? I was wondering why her doctor wouldn,t rec. a heart doctor ? Can you rec. a very good doctor in connecticut for her? I want to make sure she is getting the best care.

I have Severe Pulmonary Hypertention and the pressures in my lungs are around 80-85. I think the normal range should be about 35.
How accurate is an echocardigram in determining that you have pulmonary hypertension? My doctor says I have it because the pressure in my lungs is twice what it should be. He put me on Bystolic . How successful should that be?
Can Pulmonary Hypertension be diagnosed with a 2-d Echocardiogram? If so, what numbers/results on the Echocardiogram are the ones that show the existence of Pulmonary Hypertension? Are the TR Max Vel, RAP and RVSP the relevant ones?
72 yr old male stress echo cardiogram diagnosed mild pulmonary hypertension. What if anything can I do to slow the progression of this condition beside ceasing tp age? ahve had atrial fib. since the age of six. Pretty well controlled by 50mg. lopressor a day.
With out knowing which part the measurement came from it would be hard to tell. But it not a bad number for any of those diameters. As far as pulmonary hypertension goes it is also known in the medical world as PH and what it means is that the arteries inside of the chest wall basically are having high blood pressure and its easily treated by docs. I would say that your doc needs to sit you down and go over all of this with you so that you aren't in the dark here......

You'll note that you can submit a question online there. Same for the Tomsich Family Department of Cardiovascular Medicine:

Please think about pursuing evaluation and treatment outside the resources you have been using. I would not be any more satisfied with the help and information you have received than you are!
