Research Abstract |
Right ventricular (RV) oxidative metabolism increased in patients with PH in association with prognostic markers such as mean PAP, PVR, and BNP.. Patients with WHO functional class II to III PH also had increased RV power and efficiency. These findings may indicate a myocardial energetics adaptation response to increasing PAP. Intensive PH treatments reduced RV oxidative metabolism and improved RV volume/oxygen consumption index. In this project, we developed possible new prognostic markers and useful treatment monitor markers in patients with PH. F-18 flucorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been considered to be a diagnostic marker of cardiac involvement sarcoidosis (CS). We reported the association between the ECG abnormalities and positive F-18 FDG uptake in LV. This indicates active inflammation is associated with rhythm abnormalities. We also reported the reduced cardiac sympathetic nervous function in CS. These findings may contribute the understanding the disease mechanisms.
