As jy onlangs gediagnoseer is met Pulmonale Hipertensie, kan ek die volgende inligting nie genoeg benadruk nie.
Die kans dat jou dokter nog nooit met abnormale drukking in die longare/regterhartkamer te doen gehad het nie, is BAIE groot.
Voordat jy enige medikasie neem nadat pulmonale hipertensie op 'n echo waargeneem is, moet jy nie huiwer om te vra EN aan te dring dat
ALLE ander standaard toetse eers gedoen word sodat jy as pasient, verseker weet watter een van die vyf groepe PH jy het.
World Health Organization Pulmonary Hypertension Groups
1. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
2. Pulmonary Hypertension due to left heart disease
3. Pulmonary Hypertension due to lung disease
4. Pulmonary Hypertension due to blood clots in the lungs
5. Blood and other rare disorders that lead to Pulmonary Hypertension
http://pulmonaryhypertensionrn.com/types-of-pulmonary-hypertension/Die ENIGSTE betroubare toets om te onderskei tussen PAH en die ander vier groepe PH is met 'n RHC - Right heart catheterization
(My toets is gedoen deur die longoorplantings-span in Brisbane Australia.) Indien jy inligting nodig het kontak my asb persoonlik via epos of FB.
"If your doctor suspects you have pulmonary hypertension, you’ll be asked about your family and medical history. Your doctor will carefully examine you, and may recommend some tests, including:
Chest X-ray – this will show if your pulmonary arteries and the right side of your heart are bigger than they should be
ECG – an ECG can reveal if the right side of your heart is bigger or strained
6 minute walk test – this test will indicate your level of exercise tolerance
Echo – an Echo helps your doctor to see the size and thickness of the right side of your heart, and check how well your heart is working
Ventilation perfusion scan (VQ scan) – this scan can reveal blood clots in your lungs
Right heart catheterisation – this measures the pressure in the right side of your heart and lungs
Cardiac catheter (left heart catheterisation) – this test may be done to look at other causes of your symptoms
Pulmonary angiogram
Lung function tests – to see how well your lungs are working and measure how much air you’re breathing in and out
Chest CT – to take pictures of your heart, lungs and blood vessels
Chest MRI – see how your right side of your heart is working and the blood flow in your lungs
Sleep studies – to measure your oxygen levels while you’re asleep
Blood tests
