Abstract

The aim. To evaluate the processes of remodeling of the right and left heart in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Material and methods. The study included 30 patients who underwent in-patient examination and treatment at the State Clinical Hospital №1 named after N.I. Pirogov, Moscow, to confirm the diagnosis of CTEPH and the selection of drug therapy. For all patients, one expert performed an echocardiographic (EchoCG) study to evaluate the parameters of the right and left parts of the heart. Results. Statistically significant correlations between the severity of CTEPH flow and the structural and functional parameters of the right and left parts of the heart were obtained. Conclusions. The evaluation of structural and functional echocardiographic parameters of cardiac remodeling in patients with CTEPH was performed. Correlation links between severity of the disease course and echocardiographic data are revealed, which allows a simple, non-invasive method to conduct dynamic observation of patients and to identify prognostically unfavorable factors of CTEPH course.
