Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension mimicking coronary artery disease

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension mimicking coronary artery disease

We report the case of 63-year-old man, complaining of dyspnea and with abnormal systolic motion of the interventricular septum at echocardiography, referred for coronary angiography and suspect coronary artery disease. In the presence of normal coronary angio, a specific work-up showed chronic throm...
