Elevated lipoprotein A in acute on chronic CTEPH with cardiogenic shock: a case report

The natural history of most thrombi undergoes total or near total resolution, but the thrombi in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) do not resolve completely and subsequently increase the pulmonary vascular resistance. We hypothesised that the elevated lipoprotein A in acute pulmo...

Sumario:The natural history of most thrombi undergoes total or near total resolution, but the thrombi in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) do not resolve completely and subsequently increase the pulmonary vascular resistance. We hypothesised that the elevated lipoprotein A in acute pulmonary embolism could lessen the autoresorption of the emboli and ultimately lead to CTEPH.
