Condition:
Hiatal Hernia
Interstitial Lung Disease
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Hiatal Hernia and Pulmonary Involvement Related to Subclinical Lung Injury and Fibrosis
Brief Summary:
Patients often present with a significant burden of fibrosis upon diagnosis as there is interest in identifying these individuals earlier in their disease course (i.e., "subclinical disease") where targeted treatments and modification of risk factors may curb their progression to fulminant fibrosing ILD. The investigators have investigated with computed tomography (CT) methods such as interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and high attenuation areas (HAAs) that may detect early radiological signs of interstitial…
