    Schistosomiasis and pulmonary hypertension
    (2011) DOS, Caio Julio Cesar; FERNANDES, Santos; JARDIM, Carlos Viana Poyares; HOVNANIAN, Andre; HOETTE, Susana; MORINAGA, Luciana Kato; SOUZA, Rogerio
    Expert Rev. Respir. Med. 5(5), 675-681 (2011) Schistosomiasis is one of the most prevalent chronic infectious diseases in the world. One of its most severe complications, pulmonary hypertension, occurs in up to 5% of patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. The prevalence of schistosomiasis is so overwhelming that schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary hypertension (Sch-PH) may be the most prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension around the world. Multiple pathways have been described as potential mechanisms of disease in Sch-PH, such as egg embolism, inflammatory disease or pulmonary blood overflow. The possible physiopathological mechanisms will be discussed in this article, as well the disease's clinical course and response to the treatment available.

    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.
