| Together these labeling changes emphasize the risk for serious cardiopulmonary reactions, and that the use of these products is contraindicated in patients with unstable cardiopulmonary status, including patients with unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, or recent worsening congestive heart failure. Among a cohort of 250 patients with SCD, the investigators describe, in detail, the cardiopulmonary status of 26 patients with SCD with right-heart catheterization-documented pulmonary hypertension and 17 patients with SCD without pulmonary hypertension, 9 of whom underwent right-heart catheterization and 8 of whom had pulmonary hypertension excluded by echocardiography alone. Many of these interventions elicit an exercise stimulus and stress the oxygen transport system; thus, the patient's cardiopulmonary status needs to be monitored. |
