The aim is to understand the incidence and implications of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension following pulmonary embolism.
Analyzed cases of pulmonary embolism for subsequent CTPH development
Reviewed current diagnostic and therapeutic options
Identified gaps in early detection methods
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension commonly occurs after pulmonary embolism
Currently available diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are insufficient for early detection
Highlighting a crucial need for improved interventions to prevent CTPH
Abstract
CTPH is a relatively common, serious complication of pulmonary embolism. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for the early identification and prevention of CTPH are needed.
