Effect of face mask on pulmonary artery pressure during echocardiography in children and adolescents
Alireza Ahmadi, Mohammad Reza Sabri, Zohreh Sadat Navabi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2024;67(3):161-167.   Published online January 23, 2024
Question: Can face masks alter pulmonary pressure in children and adolescents with and without congenital heart disease?
Findings: Mask removal during echocardiography (ECHO) reduced pulmonary pressure.
Meaning: These findings suggest that face masks should be removed during ECHO in children and adolescents.

Bronchial compression in an infant with isolated secundum atrial septal defect associated with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
Sung-Hee Park, So Young Park, Nam Kyun Kim, Su-Jin Park, Han Ki Park, Young Hwan Park, Jae Young Choi

Symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with isolated atrial septal defect (ASD) is rare during infancy. We report a case of isolated ASD with severe PAH in an infant who developed airway obstruction as cardiomegaly progressed. The patient presented with recurrent severe respiratory insufficiency and failure to thrive before the repair of the ASD. Echocardiography confirmed volume overload on...

The effect of perioperative inhaled iloprost on congenital heart disease with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
Su Nam Kim, Deok Young Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(1):93-96.   Published online January 15, 2010
A 47-year-old male patient in whom atrial septal defect (ASD) had been diagnosed 15 years previously was admitted for cardiac catheterization. He had definite cyanotic lips and nail beds and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). He had received medical treatment only for the last few years after being diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome. After cardiac catheterization, he received iloprost inhalation therapy...

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Pediatric Congenital Heart disease.
Myoung Sung Moon, In Hee Park, Heung Jae Lee, Hahng Lee, Keun Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(10):971-981.   Published online October 31, 1984
To assess the validity of Echocardiographic criteria for pulmonary arterial hypertension we studied pulmonary valve motion in 75 congenital heart disease children. 75 patients were divided into two groups, A and B. The group A consisted of 39 patients who had normal pulmonary arterial pressure, group B consisted of 36 patients who had pulmonary arterial hypertension(pulmmonary artery mean pressure more...
