Journal ArticleDOI
Risk assessment, prognosis and guideline implementation in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Athénaïs Boucly,Athénaïs Boucly,Jason Weatherald,Jason Weatherald,Laurent Savale,Laurent Savale,Xavier Jaïs,Xavier Jaïs,Vincent Cottin,Grégoire Prévot,François Picard,Pascal de Groote,Mitja Jevnikar,Mitja Jevnikar,Emmanuel Bergot,Ari Chaouat,C. Chabanne,Arnaud Bourdin,Florence Parent,Florence Parent,David Montani,David Montani,Gérald Simonneau,Gérald Simonneau,Marc Humbert,Marc Humbert,Olivier Sitbon,Olivier Sitbon +27 more
TL;DR: A simplified risk assessment tool that quantifies the number of low-risk criteria present accurately predicted transplant-free survival in PAH and predicts prognosis at baseline and follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upfront triple combination therapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a pilot study
Olivier Sitbon,Xavier Jaïs,Laurent Savale,Vincent Cottin,Emmanuel Bergot,Elise Artaud Macari,Hélène Bouvaist,Claire Dauphin,François Picard,Sophie Bulifon,David Montani,Marc Humbert,Gérald Simonneau +12 more
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence of the long-term benefits of upfront triple combination therapy in patients with severe PAH is provided, with significant improvements in 6-min walk distance and haemodynamics observed after 4 months’ triple therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-energy CT perfusion and angiography in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: diagnostic accuracy and concordance with radionuclide scintigraphy
Gaël Dournes,Damien Verdier,Michel Montaudon,Eric Bullier,Annalisa Rivière,Claire Dromer,François Picard,Marc-Alain Billes,Olivier Corneloup,François Laurent,Mathieu Lederlin +10 more
TL;DR: DECT perfusion is more accurate than angiography at identifying the segmental location of abnormalities in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and the per-segment concordance rate of DECT and scintigraphy is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated function imaging: a new operator-independent strain method for assessing left ventricular function
H. Belghiti,Stephanie Brette,Stéphane Lafitte,P. Reant,François Picard,Karim Serri,Marianne Lafitte,M. Courregelongue,P. Dos Santos,Hervé Douard,Raymond Roudaut,Anthony N. DeMaria +11 more
TL;DR: AFI is clinically applicable and an effective means of assessing LV function due to its short acquisition time, feasibility and accuracy, whatever the experience of the operator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of Pulmonary Pressures and Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension by Doppler Echocardiography: A Retrospective Comparison of Routine Echocardiography and Invasive Hemodynamics
Stephane Lafitte,Xavier Pillois,Patricia Reant,François Picard,Florence Arsac,Marina Dijos,Pierre Coste,Pierre Dos Santos,Raymond Roudaut +8 more
TL;DR: Doppler echocardiography is associated with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for PH evaluation, thus confirming its major position as a primary noninvasive tool.
