Resumen
FERNANDEZ AGUIRRE, C. et al. Cor pulmonale-PHT secondary to crest syndrome: Treatment with slow continuous ultrafiltration. Med. Intensiva [online]. 2010, vol.34, n.9, pp.629-631. ISSN 0210-5691.
Pulmonary hypertension is a severe disease with complex treatment based on general measurements, anticoagulation and use of specific vasodilator drugs. Right heart failure initiated in final stages of the disease is treated with diuretics. We present the case of slow continuous ultrafilitration as treatment in right heart failure secondary to pulmonary hypertension associated to collagen disease refractory to diuretic treatment.
