    Electrical impedance tomography in pulmonary arterial hypertension
    (2021) HOVNANIAN, Andre L. D.; V, Eduardo L. Costa; HOETTE, Susana; FERNANDES, Caio J. C. S.; JARDIM, Carlos V. P.; DIAS, Bruno A.; MORINAGA, Luciana T. K.; AMATO, Marcelo B. P.; SOUZA, Rogerio
    The characterization of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) relies mainly on right heart catheterization (RHC). Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) provides a non-invasive estimation of lung perfusion that could complement the hemodynamic information from RHC. To assess the association between impedance variation of lung perfusion (Delta Z(Q)) and hemodynamic profile, severity, and prognosis, suspected of PAH or worsening PAH patients were submitted simultaneously to RHC and EIT. Measurements of Delta Z(Q) were obtained. Based on the results of the RHC, 35 patients composed the PAH group, and eight patients, the normopressoric (NP) group. PAH patients showed a significantly reduced Delta Z(Q) compared to the NP group. There was a significant correlation between Delta Z(Q) and hemodynamic parameters, particularly with stroke volume (SV) (r = 0.76; P < 0.001). At 60 months, 15 patients died (43%) and 1 received lung transplantation; at baseline they had worse hemodynamics, and reduced Delta Z(Q) when compared to survivors. Patients with low Delta Z(Q) (<= 154.6%.Kg) presented significantly worse survival (P = 0.033). Delta Z(Q) is associated with hemodynamic status of PAH patients, with disease severity and survival, demonstrating EIT as a promising tool for monitoring patients with pulmonary vascular disease.

    The role of imaging techniques in the assessment of pulmonary circulation
    (2011) HOVNANIAN, Andre; MENEZES, Eduardo; HOETTE, Susana; JARDIM, Carlos; JASINOWODOLINSKI, Dany; SOUZA, Rogerio
    Knowledge of the structure and function of pulmonary circulation has evolved considerably in the last few decades. The use of non-invasive imaging techniques to assess the anatomy and function of the pulmonary vessels and heart has taken on added importance with the recent advent of novel therapies. Imaging findings not only constitute a diagnostic tool but have also proven to be essential for prognosis and treatment follow-up. This article reviews the myriad of imaging methods currently available for the assessment of pulmonary circulation, from the simple chest X-ray to techniques that are more complex and promising, such as electrical impedance tomography.
