CTEPH in Patients With Prior Pulmonary Embolism and Risk Score Validation

CTEPH-SOLUTION is a multicenter observational cross-sectional and prospective study in patients with a prior and new diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Patients with prior pulmonary embolism will be screened at baseline with doppler echocardiography: an estimated sPAP ≥ 40 mmHg will be the indication for pulmonary hypertension detection. After 24 months from baseline, patients will be followed-up for CTEPH detection. CTEPH diagnosis will be carried out according to the current ESC/ERS guidelines. Incident (pulmonary embolism episode at least three months before the baseline) and prevalent (pulmonary embolism episode) patients will be enrolled.
