WHAT DOES COR PULMONALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cor pulmonale

Cor pulmonale, also known as pulmonary heart disease, is enlargement and failure of the right ventricle of the heart as a response to increased vascular resistance or high blood pressure in the lungs. Chronic cor pulmonale usually results in right ventricular hypertrophy, whereas acute cor pulmonale usually results in dilatation. Hypertrophy is an adaptive response to a long-term increase in pressure. Individual muscle cells grow larger and change to drive the increased contractile force required to move the blood against greater resistance. Dilatation is a stretching of the ventricle in response to acute increased pressure, such as when caused by a pulmonary embolism or ARDS. To be classified as cor pulmonale, the cause must originate in the pulmonary circulation system. Two major causes are vascular changes as a result of tissue damage, and chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. RVH due to a systemic defect is not classified as cor pulmonale. If left untreated, cor pulmonale can lead to death. The heart and lungs are intricately related. Whenever the heart is affected by disease, the lungs will follow and vice versa.

Definition of cor pulmonale in the English dictionary
