Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is substantially more prevalent than is generally recognized. Most patients affected with this disorder are severely symptomatic, but in the early stages, the diagnosis may be hard to make. Despite an estimated incidence of 2500 to 25,000 cases annually in the United States alone, these patients continue to

Cardiac geometry, as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance, can differentiate subtypes of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary vascular disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundVentricular septal flattening reflects RV pressure overload in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Eccentricity index (EI) and pulmonary artery distensibility (PAD) correlate with pulmonary artery pressure.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a rare complication of pulmonary embolism and entails high morbidity and mortality. The gold standard for treatment is pulmonary endarterectomy, which improves haemodynamics and exercise capacity, and is potentially curative.

Dynamic vascular changes in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Residual pulmonary hypertension is an important sequela after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Recurrent thrombosis or embolism could be a contributor to this residual pulmonary hypertension but the potential ...
