Correlation OF Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertension With Perfusion Lung Scans

Correlation of Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertension With Perfusion Lung Scans

The goal of our study is to correlate data from non-invasive tests such as perfusion lung scans with hemodynamic measurements from right heart catherizations.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension - Lung Perfusion Scans

Detailed Description

Data collected from PAH patients who have had non-invasive Ventilation/Perfusion testing, Echocardiography, Chest CT Scan, Pulmonary Function Testing and the correlation of those results to the hemodynamic parameters Right Heart Catherization results and the various biomarkers.
