Incidence and predictors of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension following acute pulmonary embolism: An echocardiography guided approach

There is significant variability in the worldwide epidemiology of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We thereby aim to determine the incidence and predictors of CTEPH, following an episode of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), using non-invasive modalities. Patients with acute PE wer...
