Key Findings:
  • Abnormal pulmonary vascular growth begins early during the transitional circulatory period and is exacerbated by hyperoxia, mechanical ventilation, inflammation, placental dysfunction, and altered pulmonary blood flow.
  • Prolonged exposure to significant left-to-right shunts, particularly patent ductus arteriosus, contributes to pulmonary overcirculation, edema, and vascular remodeling.
  • Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance leads to right ventricular pressure overload, while left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and pulmonary venous congestion worsen pulmonary edema and gas exchange.
  • Early hemodynamic assessment using targeted neonatal echocardiography and biomarkers like NT-proBNP can detect subclinical pulmonary vascular disease and ventricular dysfunction.
  • Phenotype-based classification reveals overlapping parenchymal, interstitial, congestive, vascular, and airway components.
Interpretation:

BPD is recognized as a heterogeneous cardiopulmonary syndrome where disturbed hemodynamics and impaired cardiopulmonary coupling are central to disease progression.

Limitations:
  • The review is based on available literature, which may not encompass all recent findings.
  • Potential biases in selected studies and the narrative review format may limit comprehensive analysis.
Conclusion:

Early hemodynamic phenotyping may enhance risk stratification and support precision-guided interventions.
