The New International CTEPH Database is a prospective, observational multi-center disease
registry run by the International CTEPH Association (ICA), which will collect data in chronic
thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients worldwide. The registry will run for
approximately 5 years. Its objective is to provide an overview on epidemiology of CTEPH, mode
of diagnosis and treatment approaches worldwide as well as determinants of long-term outcomes
as measured by New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and survival.
The data collected will improve the knowledge and understanding of this condition, support
the further development of diagnosis and treatment guidelines for patients with CTEPH, and
contribute to improving patient care in the long-term.
