D17 SIGN "O" THE TIMES: DIAGNOSIS AND RISK STRATIFICATION OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION: Prevalence Of Pulmonary Hypertension In A Large Cohort Of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Patients

Methods We reviewed the medical charts of patients who had undergone RHC in the setting of selective pulmonary angiograms for embolization of pAVMs (between January 2004 and August 2016) at the Yale New Haven Hospital HHT Center. Conclusions In contrast to the findings of other investigators of a hi...

Zusammenfassung:Methods We reviewed the medical charts of patients who had undergone RHC in the setting of selective pulmonary angiograms for embolization of pAVMs (between January 2004 and August 2016) at the Yale New Haven Hospital HHT Center. Conclusions In contrast to the findings of other investigators of a high prevalence of PH in HHT patients, this study (which up to our knowledge is the largest ever reported catheterization-based study of PH in HHT) shows a much lower prevalence of PH in this patient population, of 14%.
