Correlation OF Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertension With Perfusion Lung Scans
Overview
The goal of our study is to correlate data from non-invasive tests such as perfusion lung scans with hemodynamic measurements from right heart catherizations.
Full Title of Study: “Correlation of Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Hypertension With Perfusion Lung Scans”
