Abstract

All available evidence today indicates that chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is primarily caused by venous thromboembolism, as opposed to primary pulmonary vascular in situ thrombosis. Both the initial magnitude of clot and pulmonary embolism (PE) recurrence may contribute to the development of CTEPH. Only few specific thrombophilic factors, such as phospholipid antibodies, lupus anticoagulant and elevated factor VIII, are statistically associated with CTEPH. A mechanistic view of CTEPH as a disease caused by obliteration of central pulmonary arteries by pulmonary emboli is too simplistic. Based on available data one may speculate that PE may be followed by a pulmonary vascular remodelling process modified by infection, immune phenomena, inflammation, circulating and vascular-resident progenitor cells, thyroid hormone replacement or malignancy. Both plasmatic factors (hypercoagulation, “sticky” red blood cells, high platelet counts and uncleavable fibrinogens) and a misguided vascular remodelling process contribute to major vessel and small vessel obliteration. Endothelial dysfunction and endothelial–mesenchymal transition may be important, but their precise roles remain obscure. There exists no animal model for CTEPH; therefore, experimentation in the future must include human tissues and clinical data in parallel.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
