Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Cor pulmonale Definition Failure of the right side of the heart caused by prolonged high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery and right ventricle of the heart. Alternative Names Right-sided heart failure - cor pulmonale Causes Normally, the left side of the heart produces a higher level of blood pressure in order to pump blood to the body; the right side pumps blood through the lungs under much lower pressure. Any condition that leads to prolonged high blood pressure in the arteries or veins of the lungs (called pulmonary hypertension ) will be poorly tolerated by the right ventricle of the heart. When this right ventricle fails or is unable to properly pump against these abnormally high pressures, this is called cor pulmonale. Almost any chronic lung disease or condition causing prolonged low blood oxygen can lead to cor pulmonale. A few of these causes include: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD Obstructive sleep apnea Central sleep apnea ... lung disease Diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease Pulmonary vascular disease; pulmonary hypertension

ETIOLOGIA Las entidades que pueden desarrollar cor pulmonale suelen ser divididas en tres grandes grupos: Enfermedades del parenquina pulmonar y las vías aéreas Afecciones de los vasos pulmonares Patología de la caja torácica En el primer grupo se incluyen la mayoría de las entidades causantes de CP (EPOC, fibrosis quística, enfermedades granulomatosas, resecciones pulmonares y enfermedad de las alturas). En las alteraciones que compromenten los vasos pulmonares, se ubican la hipertensión pulmonar primaria, la arteritis granulomatosa, el tromboembolismo pulmonar y las vasculitis. La caja torácica se compromete por la existencia de cifoescoliosis, toracoplastia y fibrosis pleurales. La hipoventilación alveolar es la causa determinante del cor pulmonale agudo y crónico.

" Cor pulmonale Herzveränderungen aufgrund einer Lungenerkrankung Cor pulmonale (Cor = Herz, Pulmo = Lunge) ist ein Begriff, der verwendet wird für Veränderungen am Herzen, die durch einer akute oder chronische Steigerung des Blutdrucks im Lungenkreislauf entstanden sind. Verursacht wird diese Drucksteigerung durch eine Erkrankung der Lunge. Aufgrund der Drucksteigerung kommt es zu einer Formveränderung des Herzens. Die Muskulatur der rechten Herzkammer wird dicker, weil das Herz gegen den erhöhten Druck anarbeiten muss. Die rechte Herzkammer wird breiter und die Herzachse verlängert sich. Ausführliche Informationen zur Herzinsuffizienz finden Sie bei MedizInfo®: Kardiologie Grundsätzlich gibt es zwei Formen des Cor pulmonale: Das chronische Cor pulmonale führt aufgrund der lange andauernden Drucksteigerung schließlich zu einer Schwäche des rechten Herzens mit den entsprechenden Beschwerden (vgl. Beschwerden bei Rechtsherzinsuffizienz ). Sie kann auftreten bei chronischen Lungenerkrankungen, z. B. COPD, obstruktiver Bronchitis, Lungenemphysem, Lungenfibrose, bei verminderter Belüftung der Lungenbläschen, wiederkehrenden Lungenembolien, erhöhtem Blutdruck in der Lungenarterie und aufgrund muskulärer Erkrankung.
