what may be the causes of dyspnea in chronic arsenicosis? Can isolated pulmonary arterial hypertension be associated with and caused by chronic arsenicosis?
we have had a patient of chronic arsenicosis. she had an unexplained dyspnea and found to have PAH on echocardiographic assessment with mean PASP is 65mmhg. We have excluded the lung, heart, thromboembolic and connective tissue diseases in the causation of PAH. Can it be due to chronic arsenic exposure itself? Any opinion will be of great help to me.
