Impact of Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty in CTEPH on Cardiac and Pulmonary Physiology as Assessed by State-of-the-art Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 4D Flow Haemodynamics
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Patients with CTEPH referred for evaluation and conduction of BPA undergo standard of care diagnostic tests and treatment. This includes conventional echocardiographic, RHC and non-invasive (CT/CMR) or invasive (coronary angiography) coronary artery disease work-up.
