and can predispose the patient to atypical infections. Rheumatologic flares in CTD–ILD and sarcoidosis are also fairly common and should be treated appropriately.
Patients with DPLDs commonly present with decompensated car­diopulmonary symptoms. A CT angiogram of the chest may be helpful in ruling out pulmonary embolism in immobile patients and in determining if changes in the lung parenchyma represent infection, heart failure, or worsening of underlying lung disease. An infectious workup often requires early bronchoscopy for prompt diagnosis and treatment of atypi­cal lung infections due to poor functional reserve in this population. Appropriate noninvasive testing for typical viral diseases and bacterial pneumonias (viral washings, sputum cultures, legionella urine antigen, mycoplasma studies, and blood cultures) should always be pursued prior to bronchoscopy. It should also be recognized that any extrapulmonary stressor can increase cardiopulmonary demands and be mistaken as a pri­mary cardiopulmonary insult (e.g. urosepsis, pancreatitis).
IPF patients can present with an “acute IPF exacerbation.” Proposed diagnostic criteria for acute exacerbation include subjective worsening of breathing over 30 days or less, new bilateral radiographic opacities, and the absence of infection or another identifiable etiology for respiratory decline.

This is a diagnosis of exclusion which may require extensive
testing to rule out other etiologies.
24
Acute IPF exacerbations are associ­ated with increased inpatient mortality, which can possibly be reduced with the use of early anticoagulation and possibly increased immunosup­pression.
26
Similar exacerbations are described less commonly but can also be seen in other DPLDs. IPF patients should be promptly referred for lung transplantation due the high mortality associated with this disease.

Pulmonary Hypertension

Key Pearls

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by a mean pulmonary artery (mPA) pressure greater than 25 mmHg. Pulmonary arterial hyperten­sion (PAH) is specified by a mPA > 25 mmHg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure < 15 mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance greater than 3 Woods Units.
PH can be divided into five categories.
Echocardiography and right heart catheterization with vasoreactivity
testing are mandatory for the evaluation of PAH.
PAH requires further investigation and specific therapy. PH from left­sided heart disease or lung disease requires treatment of the underly­ing disorder.
Standard therapy for PAH includes diuretics, digoxin, anticoagula­tion, and supplemental oxygen. Calcium channel blockers are appro­priate for patients who demonstrate vasoreactivity. Targeted therapy includes endothelin receptor antagonists, prostacyclin analogues and phosphodiesterase inhibitors.

Introduction

Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by increased resistance across the pulmonary circulation, which can lead to right ventricular (RV) failure

through increased afterload. The pulmonary vascular abnormalities can result from a number of disorders, including cardiac, pulmonary or colla­gen vascular disease. Most hospitalized patients will have pulmonary hypertension secondary to left-sided heart disease (heart failure with pre­served or abnormal systolic function). Further investigation is warranted for pulmonary hypertension that is due to pulmonary vascular disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Definition

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be generally defined as an elevation in systolic pulmonary pressures greater than 35 mmHg or mean pulmonary artery pressures greater than 25 mmHg.
1
The disease can be pre-capillary, post-capillary or due to high cardiac output. Post-capillary pulmonary hypertension results from pulmonary venous congestion, which may result from left ventricular dysfunction or mitral valve disease. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH ) results from pre-capillary disease and is defined by a pulmonary arterial pressure > 25 mmHg, a pulmonary capil­lary wedge pressure of < 15 mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of greater than 3 Woods Units.
The term cor pulmonale is used when pulmonary hypertension and cardiac dysfunction result from lung disease (e.g. chronic obstructive lung disease, connective tissues disease, and interstitial lung disease). Eisenmenger’s syndrome occurs when right to left shunts associated with congenital heart disease reverse due to increasing pulmonary pressures.

Classification

Pulmonary hypertension can be acute or chronic, and the acute form usually results from pulmonary thromboembolic disease. The chronic forms of pul­monary hypertension can divided into five major categories (see Table. 1).

Group I pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by disease of the small pulmonary arteries. Included are idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), which was formerly termed primary pulmonary

hypertension; associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (APAH ) from collagen vascular diseases; HIV; and portopulmonary hypertension; and heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH ). Mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) have been identified as the primary cause of heritable PAH (HPAH). Drugs, including appetite suppressants containing aminorex, dexfenfluramine and fenfluramine, have been associated with an increased risk of PAH.
Secondary pulmonary hypertension usually results from cardiac or respi­ratory diseases. Increases in pulmonary blood flow through shunts or high output (e.g. dialysis fistulas or hepatic failure) or through venous conges­tion can lead to elevated pulmonary pressures. Lung disease can result in hypoxic vasoconstriction and the loss of pulmonary vasculature due to fibrosis. Pulmonary pressures can increase “out of proportion” to the degree of left-heart failure or lung disease, which may be due to intimal proliferation and increases in PVR.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is important to exclude as a cause of pulmonary hypertension as it can be potentially cured via thromboendarterectomy. Ventilation-perfusion scan has been shown to be a more sensitive test for detection of CTEPH than CT angiog­raphy. Embolic occlusion of the pulmonary vascular bed may also result from tumor metastases, schistosomiasis, filariasis, or talc or fiber embolism from intravenous drug use.

Clinical Presentation

The presentation of pulmonary hypertension is similar despite the multi­ple different etiologies of the disease. Dyspnea, fatigue, edema and exer­tional syncope are classic symptoms. RV ischemia may lead to angina. Patients with collagen vascular disease commonly have concomitant Raynaud’s disease.
Physical examination findings include an increased intensity of the P2 component of the second heart sound, a right ventricular heave, a right-sided fourth sound, and murmurs of tricuspid and pulmonic valve regurgitation.

Distension of the jugular veins, a pulsatile liver, ascites, and peripheral edema usually indicate advanced right-sided failure.
Findings on chest radiograph are enlargement of the pulmonary trunk and hilar vessels and right-heart enlargement. The electrocardiogram may demonstrate right axis deviation, T wave inversions in the anterior precordial leads, right atrial enlargement, and RV hypertrophy.

Evaluation (see Fig. 1)

Echocardiography is essential to the diagnosis of pulmonary hyperten­sion. The RV systolic pressure can be estimated via Doppler. It is impor­tant, however, to distinguish between PAH and PH from left-sided disease. Isolated RV enlargement and dysfunction and right atrial enlarge­ment with normal LV function can be key indicators of PAH. Diastolic and systolic bowing of the septum are significant for RV volume and pres­sure overload, respectively.
