Conditions
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. BPA will be conducted in generally 5 to 6 consecutive sessions. CMR will be performed prior to first and following the last intervention. Patient recruitment will be performed within 3 years, that is the last BPA session of the last patient in will have been performed at 3 years time.
