Pulmonary Hypertension Assessment - Bench to Bedside

Explore pediatric pulmonary hypertension in this 46-minute World Shared Practice Forum video presented by Dr. Jeffrey Fineman. Gain insights into the classification and epidemiology of pediatric pulmonary disease, focusing on its association with congenital heart disease. Examine the natural history of the condition and review evidence supporting its initial manifestation as an endothelial-based disease. Delve into current and future research on hemodynamic forces related to various congenital heart diseases. Learn to characterize pediatric pulmonary hypertension, identify its epidemiology, understand the endothelial cell's role, and discuss ongoing research aimed at influencing hemodynamic forces in different congenital heart conditions. The presentation covers introduction, classification, congenital heart disease, pulmonary vascular disease, anatomic morphology, survival rates, landmark studies, endothelial cascades, and concludes with a comprehensive summary.
