TABLE 73-2 -- Clues for Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests for Pulmonary Hypertension
Test Chest x-ray Notable Findings Enlargement of central pulmonary arteries reflects level of PA pressure and duration. Right axis deviation and precordial T wave abnormalities are early signs. Elevated pulmonary artery pressure causes restrictive physiology. Nonsegmental perfusion abnormalities can occur from severe pulmonary vascular disease. Minor interstitial changes may reflect diffuse disease; mosaic perfusion pattern indicates thromboembolism and/or left heart failure.

Electrocardiography Pulmonary function tests Perfusion lung scan

Chest computed tomography scan

Echocardiography

Right ventricular enlargement will parallel the severity of the pulmonary hypertension. Minor right to left shunting rarely produces hypoxemia. This is too unreliable for following serial measurements to monitor therapy. This is very helpful to assess the efficacy of therapy. Severe exerciseinduced hypoxemia should cause consideration of a right-to-left shunt.

Contrast echocardiography Doppler echocardiography

Exercise testing

Histopathology of endothelial cell lesions in IPAH. A. Pulmonary artery showing medial hypertrophy and lined by a single layer of endothelial cells, as outlined by Factor VIII related antigen immunostaining (arrow). Plexiform lesion (outlined by the rim of arrowheads) with the proximal vascular arterial segment with marked intimal and medial thickening by smooth muscle cells (arrow). Note the proliferation of endothelial cells with the outer edge (35 oclock) occupied by dilated blood vessel-like structures. C. Cross section of a plexiform lesion, outlined by arrowheads. Note perilesional inflammatory infiltrate (arrow). D. High magnification histology of plexiform lesions shown slit-like vascular channels lined by hyperchromatic and cuboidal endothelial cells. Cells in the core do not display distinct cytoplamic borders. E. Low magnification immunohistology with Factor VIII related antigen immunohistochemistry of different endothelial cell based vascular lesions. This area has revascularized lesions (possibly an organized thrombus), with well-formed and distinct small capillaries/vessels (arrowhead), a plexiform lesion (arrow), and dilated/angiomatoid lesions (between arrowheads). F. High magnification immunohistology of cellular plexiform lesion stained with Factor VIII related antigen (arrowheads). G and H. Histological identification of plexiform and dilation lesions (G) is markedly improved by Factor VIII related antigen immunohistochemistry (H) (arrowheads), while the parent vessel (arrow) shows mild medial remodeling. I. Highlight of vascular dilation/angiomatoid lesions with Factor VIII related antigen immunohistochemistry. J. Endothelial cells in plexiform lesion is highlighted by CD34 immunohisochemistry (arrowheads). Proximal pulmonary artery with marked intima and medial thickening is highlighted by the arrow. K and I. Endothelial cells are highlighted by CD31 immunohistochemistyr (arrowheads). Note that capillary endothelial cells express CD31 as well (arrow in I),

A. Fibrotic, relatively paucicellular intima thickening (outlined by arrowheads) in a pulmonary artery with the media highlighted with the arrow. B. Marked intima remodeling with almost complete obliteration by fibrous tissue with a marked intravascular and perivascular inflammatory infiltrate (arrows). C. Smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, with prominent thickening of medial layer (arrow). D. Highlight of medial hypertrophy with smooth muscle actin immunohistochemistry. E. Markedly remodeled pulmonary artery with endothelial cell layer highlighted by Factor VIII related antigen immunohistochemistry. Note that the intima and medial smooth muscle cells are negative for Factor VIII related antigen reactivity. F. Ingrowth of smooth muscle cells in a plexiform lesions, highlighted by smooth muscle cell actin immunohistochemistry (arrow).

Veno-occlusive PH. A. Low-power histological view of thickened pulmonary veins running into the lung parenchyma from the pleural surface (left edge) (arrows). Note marked vein wall thickening and decreased lumen. Adjacent alveoli are filled with blood and show septal thickening with engorged capillaries (arrowhead). B. Marked vein thickening with intimal projection probably representing organized thrombus (arrow). Alveolar hemorrhage and septal thickening are highlighted with arrowhead. C and D. Movat stained pulmonary vein showing arterialization pattern with internal and external elastic layers (arrow). The vein shows marked intima thickening with organized thrombus (arrowheads).
