CTEPH, or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, is a rare type of pulmonary hypertension (PH). 1 Pulmonary hypertension (PH) happens in the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to the lungs. Changes in the pulmonary arteries restrict blood flow, leading to a rise in blood pressure. 2,3 The most common symptoms of CTEPH are similar to those of PH, including shortness of breath with exercise, fatigue, or weakness.
A right heart catheterization will better define the degree of pulmonary hypertension and right heart strain that is present. To confirm the diagnosis of CTEPH and to locate the chronic clots, pulmonary angiography, CT angiography scan or magnetic resonance imaging of the pulmonary vessels and lungs will be necessary.
