CASTELLANOS-GUTIERREZ, María Ángela; MAESTRE-SERRANO, Ronald and SANTIAGO-HENRIQUEZ, Ernesto. Pulmonary manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis: Cor pulmonale. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.2, pp.129-131. Epub May 20, 2020. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2018.03.002.
Cor pulmonale is the right ventricular dysfunction that results from pulmonary hypertension secondary to alterations of the pulmonary structure and/or function, by various aetiologies, mainly those that affect the parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature. The case is presented of a 62-year-old woman with right ventricular dysfunction secondary to parenchymal and functional pulmonary alterations, as a result of systemic autoimmune disease.
