Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension WHO Group I Clinical Trial
Official title:
Prostanoid Therapy in Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension - Imaging Control Study, 3D Echo, MR and RHC.
The aim of the study is to intensify the follow up of patients with pulmonary arterial
hypertension via modern imaging guided methods in due consideration of the possibilities of
three-dimensional echocardiography in order to optimize their specific therapy.
The hypothesis is that the increased use of modern imaging guided tools is essential for the
follow up.
It is not possible to perform a magnetic resonance imaging in all patients and as a result echocardiography is not only done at screening but also during the follow up. The imaging technologies made a great progress in the last few years and enable a better assessment of the haemodynamic parameters in our days. ;
