Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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:

3. COR PULMONALE IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE L
   Reports a case of SLE who presented with severe pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale without any evidence of parenchymal lung disease.

   Extractions: Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine (38), College of Medicine, King Saud University, P.O. Box 2925, Riyadh 11461, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 10 August 1994. Pulmonary hypertension is rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) although pulmonary involvement occurs in about 50%. Pulmonary hypertension without obvious pulmonary infiltration is even rarer, the mechanism of which is unclear. We report here a case of SLE who presented with severe pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale without any evidence of parenchymal lung disease. The patient was a 19-year-old Saudi female who was admitted to King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh with a two-year history of dyspnea, easy fatigability, palpitations, anorexia, loss of weight, dry cough and episodic attacks of fever every three to four months with night sweats for the last two years. Five days prior to admission she developed pain in various large and small joints with swelling in interphalangeal and right wrist joints and described features of Raynaud's phenomenon. Chest roentgenogram showed cardiomegaly with prominent pulmonary conus. No lung infiltrate was noticed. High resolution computed tomography (CT) scan was not done. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed an enlarged liver with mild ascites. Pulmonary function test revealed a restrictive pattern with decreased diffusion lung capacity. Ventilation/perfusion scan of the lungs did not reveal any evidence of pulmonary embolism. Cross-sectional echocardiography and Doppler studies revealed significant enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle with dilated pulmonary artery and moderate degree of pericardial effusion. Moderate tricuspid incompetence was also detected.

   Extractions: Peer Review Status: Externally Reviewed by the Department of Internal Medicine Virtual Hospital Editorial Board Pharmacological COPD treatment should be individualized to maximize benefit and minimize side effects of the medications. The American Thoracic Society recently suggested defining the severity of COPD based on spirometry and designing treatment based on disease severity (1). Regardless of severity, the therapeutic goal is bronchodilation, reducing inflammation, and facilitating expectoration. In patients with mild disease, this can be attained using intermittent inhaled beta agonist drugs. A trial of steroids may also be considered with monitoring for objective response as outlined below. Additional treatment decisions should be based on symptoms and response to treatment. A description of the drug classes available follows. Short and long-acting beta-agonist inhalers: These metered dose inhaled beta-agonist bronchodilators are the mainstay of treatment for COPD. However, the most appropriate dosing and dosing intervals have not been extensively studied. Most patients use the short acting inhalers at two puffs four daily, either scheduled or as needed. New, long-acting formulations might be useful when administered at bedtime to patients who report nocturnal symptoms. It is important to remember that the response to bronchodilators on spirometry does not identify all patients who will benefit from these agents. Clinical response should guide the use of the medication. Patients must use the metered dose inhalers appropriately to benefit, and instructions on the proper use of aerosol inhalers is mandatory for maximal effect. The National Asthma Education Program has published guidelines to aid health care professionals in

Blood travels from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary arteries into the lungs. There, carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and oxygen is added to it. Normally, the right side of the heart is weaker than the left side, because relatively little muscle and effort are needed to push the blood through the pulmonary arteries. In contrast, the left side of the heart is stronger and more muscular because it has to push blood through the entire body. Likewise, blood pressure through the pulmonary arteries is lower than that of the general circulation. While the pressure in the general circulation is normally about 120/80 mm Hg, in the pulmonary arteries it is only 25/15 mm Hg.
