Due to normal ejection fraction, the differential diagnosis of dyspnea included non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pneumonitis secondary to chemotoxicity, and infection.

Watching day 2 of @NIAIDNews #LongCovid workshop. Right now: breakout sessions. I'm watching the neuro breakout session, led by Dr. Komaroff. @ahandvanish is there representing #LongCovid patients with @itsbodypolitic. Tune in: videocast.nih.gov/livew.asp?live…
@NSU_INIM's Dr. Klimas spoke about early in the meeting about the history of #MECFS and challenges in developing diagnostic criteria for #MECFS without biomarkers, and the similarities and differences to #LongCovid. I felt represented by her discussion as a #PwME
@NSU_INIM's Dr. Klimas also emphasized the need for separating
- hospitalized COVID patients with organ damage that is causing neuro symptoms after COVID
vs.
- #LongCovid which typically is in non-hospitalized cases

#Pulmonary Hypertension (pHTN) can really take your breath away!
For today's #MTC, Chief @photon_ick, PGY3 Dr. Armando Martinez, & #CTEPH expert Dr. Demos Papamatheakis reviewed a super cool case of a legit #SPY diagnosed with pHTN & CTEPH, flown to #UCSD for management!

1. pHTN is increased pressure in the #pulmonaryarteries
2. Most common symptoms include: EXERTIONAL #dyspnea, fatigue, pleuritic chest pain, and even #hemoptysis🩸
3. It's typically diagnosed on #ECHO showing dilated arteries, right❤️strain, & elevated RV systolic pressure!

4. There are 5 #WHO Classes of pHTN, distinguished based on physiology and treatment options:
1⃣ Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
2⃣ pHTN 2/2 LV failure
3⃣ pHTN 2/2 Respiratory/Lung disease
4⃣ CTEPH
5⃣ Other causes

THREAD from the new #bradykinin research (pre-print) from 🇳🇱:
"We propose that the severity of the disease and many deaths are due to a local vascular problem due to activation of B1 receptors on #endothelial cells in the lungs."

➡️"the B1 receptor on endothelial cells is upregulated by proinflammatory #cytokines
➡️ Without #ACE2 acting as a guardian to inactivate the ligands of B1, the lung environment is prone for local vascular leakage leading to #angioedema"
