A non-CME educational program sponsored by PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education, open to all ATS 2018 International Conference attendees.

  2. Differential Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension: Is It PAH, CTEPH, or Something Else? Nick H. Kim, MDProfessor of Medicine University of California San Diego La Jolla, California Go online to access full [Certification Type] information, including faculty disclosures.

  3. Clinical Classification of PH1 • PAH • Idiopathic PAH • Heritable PAH • BMPR2 • Other mutations • Drug- and toxin-induced • Associated with • CTD • HIV infection • Portal hypertension • Congenital heart disease • Schistosomiasis • 1’.

  5. Diana, a 37-Year-Old Woman

  6. Diana’s Physical Exam • HR: 90 bpm • BP: 110/68 mmHg • Wt: 190 lb • Ht: 5'4“ • JVP: ≈15 cm, reduced carotid upstrokes • Clear lungs • Palpable RV heave, RRR, loud P2, 3/6 TR, intermittent right sided S3 • 2+ LE edema

  7. Diana’s ECG • Normal sinus rhythm; incomplete right bundle branch block; prolonged QT

  8. Diana’s Laboratory Results

  9. 2015 ESC/ERS Guidelines for PH Diagnosis1 Symptoms, signs, hx suggestive of PH Echocardiographic probability of PH? High or intermediate Low Consider LH disease, lung disease by sympotoms, signs, risk factors, ECG, PFT + DLCO, chest x-ray and HRCT, ABG Consider other causes and/or follow-up Dx of heart or lung disease confirmed? No V/Q scintigraphyUnmatched perfusion defects? 1. Galiè N et al; ESC Scientific Document Group. Eur Heart J. 2015;37:67-119.

  10. Why Is V/Q Imaging Necessary? • V/Q scan is the imaging modality of choice for CTEPH screening • CT pulmonary angiogram may miss evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease • Patients with PH and clot in their pulmonary arteries do not necessarily have CTEPH V/Q scan of normal lungs V/Q scan showing CTEPH

  11. PAH-QuERI: Adherence to Guideline-Recommended Screening1 1. McLaughlin VV et al. Chest. 2013;1438:324-332.

  20. Distinguishing Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction From Pulmonary Hypertension1 PH-HFpEF may often be misclassified as WHO class I PAH 1. Thenappan T et al. Circ Heart Fail. 2011;4:257-265.

  21. Delay in Recognition of PAH: REVEAL Registry1 • REVEAL registry: enrolled 2,967 adult patients with PAH from Mar 2006 to Sep 2007 • In 21.1 percent of patients, symptoms were experienced for >2 years before PAH was recognized 1. Brown LM et al. Chest. 2011;140:19-26.

  22. Alison, a 55-Year-Old Female: Presents for Second Opinion • Abrupt onset dyspnea two years ago • Diagnosed and treated for pneumonia by urgent care • Dyspnea improved, but never returned to normal • Six months later, she developed worsening dyspnea and new LE edema following a trans-Atlantic flight • She was evaluated by a physician who obtained an echo that demonstrated RV enlargement and pulmonary hypertension • The physician who ordered echo diagnosed our patient with PAH and started her on bosentanand diuretics

  25. CTEPH Diagnosis and Surgical Consideration: SCAR Concept1 • Suspecta • Echocardiogramb • V/Q scanc Evaluate for PH/PAH No Yes Refer to expert center a Based on symptoms, signs, and history suggestive of CTEPH. b Used to assess the probability of PH; if high or intermediate, then continue with V/Q scan. c Remains the preferred and recommended test for CTEPH screening. 1. Kim N et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2013;62:D92-99.

  26. 2015 ESC/ERS Guidelines for PH Diagnosis1 Symptoms, signs, hx suggestive of PH Echocardiographic probability of PH? High or intermediate Low Consider LH disease, lung disease by sympotoms, signs, risk factors, ECG, PFT + DLCO, chest x-ray and HRCT, ABG Consider other causes and/or follow-up Dx of heart or lung disease confirmed? No V/Q scintigraphyUnmatched perfusion defects? 1. Galiè N et al; ESC Scientific Document Group. Eur Heart J. 2015;37:67-119.

  27. Comparing V/Q and CTPA:Which Is the Preferred Strategy in Clinical Practice? Performance Indicators for V/Q Scintigraphy and CTPAa The sensitivity of the V/Q scan is almost 50 percent greater than that of CTPA (>96 vs ~51 percent, respectively) • Other indicators favoring V/Q over CTPA: • Lower radiation exposure • Fewer IV contrast complications • Less training for data interpretation • Low costd a A retrospective analysis of 227 patients. b Intermediate with high-probability scans as indicative of CTEPH. c Only high-probability scans as indicative of CTEPH. d When perfusion is omitted. 1. Tunariu N et al. J Nucl Med. 2007;48:680-684.

  28. Alison’s V/Q Scan V/Q scan demonstrates bilateral segmental and subsegmental defects

  29. CTEPH Diagnosis and Surgical Consideration: SCAR Concept1 • Suspecta • Echocardiogramb • V/Q scanc Evaluate for PH/PAH No Yes Refer to expert center • Confirm • RHCd • High-quality pulmonary angiograme (or CTPA, MRA) • Assess Risk • Hemodynamics • Comorbidities • Surgeon/CTEPH team experience Determine suitability for PEA a Based on symptoms, signs, and history suggestive of CTEPH. b Used to assess the probability of PH; if high or intermediate, then continue with V/Q scan. c Remains the preferred and recommended test for CTEPH screening. d Used for hemodynamic evaluation to confirm the PAH and CTEPH and assess the severity of hemodynamic impairment. e Remains the gold standard for confirmation of chronic thromboembolic disease and evaluation of operability. 1. Kim N et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2013;62:D92-99.

  30. Alison’s Angiogram and Surgical Specimen Right Left Pulmonary endarterectomy resulted in normalization of pulmonary artery pressures; patient able to discontinue bosentan

  32. Bill, 40-Year-Old Male With Insidious Onset of Dyspnea on Exertion Over Past Year (Cont’d)

  33. Bill’s HRCT Scan • CT scan indicates CTEPH • Patient referred for PEA

  34. Bill’s V/Q Scan • V/Q scan is normal, indicating PAH, not CTEPH • Clots seen on CT scan due to in situ thrombosis, not obstructive • If patient had undergone pulmonary endarterectomy, PH would not have improved and the patient may not have survived surgery

  35. Conclusions • Exclude non-PAH causes of PH • V/Q scan is the imaging modality of choice for CTEPH screening • CT pulmonary angiogram may miss evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease • RHC remains the gold standard assessment of hemodynamics in PAH

  36. Tailoring PAH Therapy to the Individual: What Have We Learned From Post-Approval Analyses? Vallerie V. McLaughlin, MDKim A.

  37. Long-Term Outcomes in PAH1 • Despite improvement in overall survival with available therapy, annual mortality rate remains high at ~15 percent • Right ventricular failure is the main cause of mortality Survival, percent Long-term studies evaluating the impact of PAH therapies on mortality are needed 1.
