bookPart Schistosomiasis and Pulmonary Hypertension(2012) FERNANDES, Caio Julio Cesar; JARDIM, Carlos; HOVNANIAN, Andre; HOETTE, Susana; MORINAGA, Luciana Kato; SOUZA, RogerioSchistosomiasis is the third leading parasitic disease in the world. It is present in 74 countries, infecting 200 million people. Each year 280,000 patients die because of the disease. One of its most severe complications is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Previous studies have shown that 5% of patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis develop PAH. It is believed today that the most prevalent cause worldwide of PAH is schistosomiasis. Specifics about schistosomiasis-associated PAH including epidemiological data, mechanisms of the disease, clinical and hemodynamic features, and modalities of treatment will be reviewed in this chapter.

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.
