Right Atrial Fibrosis in Pulmonary Hypertension

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 May 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The study aim to assess right atrial (RA) remodeling, in terms of RA fibrosis, in pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients. This will be investigated in detail with in-depth cardiac magnet resonance imaging (CMRI). A cohort with exclusion of pulmonary hypertension which underwent CMRI due to dyspnoe of unkown reason will be the control group.
