The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

idiopathic, which basically means medicine has not reached a point where we know what causes it.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

Mark, what would you add to this?

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

Yeah, Maddy, thank you for presenting this aliquot.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

One thing that comes to my mind, we were thinking about group one etiologies and we're thinking of inflammatory versus non-inflammatory symptoms.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And here we don't hear about any inflammatory symptoms so far.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And under the non-inflammatory bucket, we talked about vitamin deficiencies.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

We didn't hear about any risk factors and you can develop scurvy just from like avoiding citrus products.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And in this case, we didn't even hear about that.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

One telltale sign of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, which is a disease that acts like heart failure,

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

but then once acts like left heart failure, and then when you do the cath, you see that the left-sided pressures are normal, and that is how a pulmonary vena occlusive disease presents.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And one telltale sign is that these patients, sometimes their hemodynamics worsen with epiprostanol or vasodilators, because if you think about it,

The Clinical Problem Solvers

occluded at the venous side.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

So right after the capillary.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

So if you vasodilate them, their hemodynamics worsen.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

So I'm adding that higher on my list.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

So that's one thing I'm considering.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And then we'd love to hear from Noah and Mark as well.

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

as to could this just be worsening shock?

The Clinical Problem Solvers
Episode 454: Pulmonary Hypertension

And is this just the right heart spiral that Mark was alluding to earlier?
