Targeted Angiogenesis Gene Expression Profiling of Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by organized thrombi in the pulmonary arteries leading to right heart failure and death. Impaired angiogenesis and systemic inflammation could be involved in the pathophysiology of this disease. The aim of this study was to determine the angiogenic expression profile in patients with CTEPH.
