One year study of clinical course on children with hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension

ABSTRACT

26 out of 105 children with congenital heart diseases were studied in a period of one year (1992-93) 26 children with hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension presented in different forms of congenital heart disease (Table 3) and continued in different clinical courses. 5 cases of hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertensions died (Table 4) and the remaining 21 hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension were under medical care. 10 cases of hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension were waiting for corrective surgery. Early diagnosis and medical care, can prevent irreversible hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension, and can bring about a favourable condition for corrective surgery and can even avoid early death.
