Risk stratification and early interventions in pulmonary vascular disease: from acute pulmonary embolisms to chronic pulmonary hypertension [ 1/1/2021 - 3/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, potentially life-threatening condition with up to 50% of survivors developing long-term complications, which are associated with breathlessness, functional limitation and risk of premature death if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This project investigates the use of non-invasive scan techniques and exercise testing for early detection of these complications. The project will also explore new drug targets to treat these complications.
