Zusammenfassung

Zur Behandlung der pulmonalarteriellen Hypertonie (PAH) liegen aktuelle internationale Leitlinien der European Society of Cardiology sowie des American College of Chest Physicians vor. Die Klassifikation der pulmonalen Hypertonie sowie Leitlinien zur Diagnostik und Therapie wurden zuletzt auf dem 4. Weltkongress zur PAH in Dana Point (Kalifornien) im Jahr 2008 angepasst. Basierend auf diesen Leitlinien erfolgt ein Überblick über die aktuellen Therapieempfehlungen für Patienten mit PAH, entsprechend der Gruppe 1 der diagnostischen WHO-Klassifikation der pulmonalen Hypertonie. Demnach wird empfohlen, die Diagnostik und Therapie in einem Expertenzentrum durchzuführen. Wir teilen die Therapieformen der PAH in Basistherapien (z. B. orale Antikoagulanzien, Diuretika, Sauerstofftherapie) und spezifische Therapien (z. B. Phosphodiesterase-5-Hemmstoffe, Endothelinrezeptorantagonisten, Prostanoide) ein. Zuletzt werden noch einige neue Substanzen dargestellt, die sich bereits verhältnismäßig weit in der klinischen Entwicklung befinden.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
