Characteristics of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in Ireland

Conclusion: This is the first study describing the characteristics of CTEPH in the NPHU in Ireland. The annual incidence of 1.47 per million population would suggest that CTEPH may be underrecognised. Patients are typically older, there was no female predominance, and a history of prior PE was present in 65%, which is compatible with existing registry data.
