OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary arterial hypertension causes right ventricular remodeling; that is,
right ventricular dilatation, hypertrophy, and leftward ventricular septal bowing. We studied …

Objectives : We sought to study whether patients with right ventricular failure (RVF) secondary
to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) have reduced left ventricular …

OBJECTIVES: In proximal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary
endarterectomy is the treatment of first choice. In general, medical treatment before pulmonary …

OBJECTIVES: In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, objective data to assess
the functional outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy are lacking. We studied the 6-…

Background Patients with chronic thromboembolic disease (CTED) may suffer from exercise
intolerance without pulmonary hypertension at rest. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for …

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity
and mortality in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who …

Objectives To test whether Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination would reduce the
incidence of COVID-19 and other respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in older adults with one or …

Aims To study whether pre-operative assessment, using echocardiography, of the timing of
a particular feature in the pulmonary flow (pulmonary flow systolic notch) may predict in-…

BACKGROUND: In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), dyspnea is
considered to be related to increased dead space ventilation caused by vascular obstruction. …
