Pulmonary venoocclusive disease. 1976

S K Chawla, and C F Kittle, and L P Faber, and R J Jensik

Pulmonary venoocclusive disease has been established as a definite clinical entity characterized by congestive cardiac failure with pulmonary arterial hypertension, chronic interstitial pulmonary edema, and normal wedge pressure on cardiac catheterization. This disease was diagnosed and confirmed in a patient during life. A review of the 32 patients reported earlier has been done in an attempt to fine possible etiological agents. Early recognition and treatment with anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, aspirin, and dipyridamole may improve the prognosis.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
