Clinical Trial: PIMR and Pulmonary Vascular Disease
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Pulmonary Hypertension
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: The Pulmonary Index of Microcirculatory Resistance: A Novel Hemodynamic Index for Invasively Assessing the Pulmonary Vasculature
Brief Summary:
The findings from this innovative, first-in-man, prospective pilot study will elucidate the role of PIMR and RV-IMR in pre-capillary PH.The study cohort will consist of patients with pulmonary pressures ranging from normal (advanced lung disease patients undergoing lung transplant evaluation) to severe PH (PAH and CTEPH patients), and thus will allow for identification of a PIMR cutoff.Participants will include: 1) advanced lung disease patients undergoing bilateral heart catheterization as part of their pre-lung…
