Proteomic Pattern Associated With the Diagnosis of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne

Summary

Chronic ThromboEmbolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but severe complication of pulmonary embolism (PE). CTEPH is evoked in patients with persistent dyspnea. According to international guidelines, symptomatic patients with perfusion defects on lung scan and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)-likely transthoracic echo (TTE) must be evaluated in Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)-centers with right heart catheterism, to confirm or rule out the presence of precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), and precise the group of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).
