Non-invasive Diagnostics of Pulmonary Hypertension With Dual Energy Computed Tomography

NCT01607489 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to determine relevant hemodynamic parameters for the diagnostics of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by dynamic contrast enhanced dual-energy CT (DE-CT). In this pilot study the investigators investigate patients who underwent right heart catheterisation with DE-CT to determine hemodynamic parameters and control the results by other clinical investigations. The investigators expect that using this non-invasive method, parameters relevant for the diagnosis of the patients with PAH, like pulmonary blood volume, blood flow and perfusion heterogeneity, can be determined.
