Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary vascular disease : physiological concepts and genetic predisposition
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an uncommon sequela of acute pulmonary embolism and, untreated, leads to right ventricular (RV) failure and death. Despite its growing recognition, methods for the detection of early RV insufficiency and prediction of clinical deterioration, important to optimum preservation of RV function, are currently suboptimal. Furthermore, underlying genetic predisposi...
