Abstract
Background: Pulmonary artery compliance (PAC), which could be estimated with gas exchange pulmonary arterial capacitance (GXcap), reflects the elasticity of the pulmonary vessels, and it is known that PAC is changed by pulmonary perfusion. GXcap could be measured using ventilatory gas analysis and is calculated using O2 pulse × peak end-tidal CO2 pressure. Moreover, it is known that pulmonary perfusion by postural changes is different between chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, it was unclear whether GXcap could estimate PAC in CTEPH and PAH. Furthermore, it was unclear that change in GXcap with postural change (ΔGXcap) [Δ (Sitting - Supine)] was different between CTEPH and PAH.
Methods: Patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension who underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) from May 2022 to February 2023 in our institution were prospectively enrolled. Ventilatory gas analysis was performed before RHC in both the supine and sitting positions and calculated. Moreover, PAC was calculated with RHC. The diagnosis of PAH and CTEPH was based on the European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society 2022 guidelines.
Results: Forty patients (CTEPH, n = 18; PAH, n = 22) were enrolled in this study. GXcap was positively related to PAC in these patients (R = 0.62, p < 0.001). Furthermore, PAC was significantly lower in CTEPH patients compared to PAH patients (median 1.63 mL/mmHg vs 2.05 mL/mmHg, p = 0.013). Moreover, GXcap was increased in CTEPH patients with postural change, while GXcap was decreased in PAH patients with postural change. Thus, ΔGXcap was significantly higher in CTEPH patients compared to PAH patients (median 5.8 mL × mmHg vs -2.6 mL × mmHg, p = 0.005).
Conclusions: It was suggested that PAC could be moderately estimated using GXcap in PAH and CTEPH patients. Moreover, it was suggested that ΔGXcap was higher in CTEPH patients compared with PAH patients.
期刊介绍：
The official journal of the Japanese College of Cardiology is an international, English language, peer-reviewed journal publishing the latest findings in cardiovascular medicine. Journal of Cardiology (JC) aims to publish the highest-quality material covering original basic and clinical research on all aspects of cardiovascular disease. Topics covered include ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, vascular disease, hypertension, arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, new diagnostic techniques, and cardiovascular imaging. JC also publishes a selection of review articles, clinical trials, short communications, and important messages and letters to the editor.
