研究概览
简要总结
To study the effect of relocation from 2840m (Quito) to sea level (Pedernales) in patients with pulmonary vascular diseases (PVD) defined as pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH) who permanently live >2500m on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and other hemodynamics.
详细描述
This research in patients with PVD diagnosed with precapillary PH with right heart catheterization and classified to groups 1 and 4 (PAH or CTEPH) who permanently live at HA >2500 (PVD_HA) will have PAP and other hemodynamics assessed by echocardiography and blood gases near their living altitude in Quito at 2840m and at sea level in Pedernales the day after the first and the second night after relocation.
