Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to intensify the follow up of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension via modern imaging guided methods in due consideration of the possibilities of three-dimensional echocardiography in order to optimize their specific therapy.

The hypothesis is that the increased use of modern imaging guided tools is essential for the follow up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is not possible to perform a magnetic resonance imaging in all patients and as a result echocardiography is not only done at screening but also during the follow up. The imaging technologies made a great progress in the last few years and enable a better assessment of the haemodynamic parameters in our days.
