Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi Sharlee, I'm translating EN > FR, but with Google I got a sense of what you're looking for, it's the test performed with nitric oxide to see whether patients will respond to calcium channel blockers (before prescribing such drugs): ============ Calcium blockers are commonly used for high blood pressure (hypertension) and usually well tolerated, but in PPH can be very dangerous, even fatal. Potential responders must be identified with care. We have developed a rapid and safe technique for identifying responders. The pulmonary artery pressure response to five minutes of inhaled nitric oxide is a safe and highly accurate method to predict the response to calcium channel blockers. (http://www.med.umich.edu/cvc/adult/dispul.htm) ============ I'm sure googling for more info (e.g., check the drug " Flolan " by GSK) will lead you to the right term in English.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Acute vasodilator test. See this, among other sources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Ab stract & list_uids=16061423 & query_hl=1 & itool=pubmed_docsum Creutz Weymouth, MA, USA >>In a description of drugs to treat primary pulmonary hypertension, speaking of calcium antagonists: ....ils sont d'ailleurs recommandés uniquement chez les patients qui répondent au " test de vasodilatation en aigu " and La réponse au traitement vasodilatateur chez un patient donné est imprévisible, c'est pourquoi il est obligatoire de réaliser " le test de vasodilatation en aigu " pendant le cathétérisme à l'aide de produits à courte durée d'action avant de débuter un traitement au long cours. My quotation marks around the problematic term. I would appreciate the English for this term. Merci, from Sharlee Bradley<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
