Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Vascular Disease Unit
Specialist care is provided by a large team including 10 consultants (including a consultant nurse and pharmacist respectively), specialist nurses and a specialist pharmacy team, along with a multi-professional group of dedicated staff on our fully integrated unit. We currently prescribe specific treatments for over 1,800 patients with all types of pulmonary hypertension and recruit patients for clinical trials exploring new treatments. We run a shared care service with adult congenital heart disease centres.
We offer comprehensive services, including standard diagnostics, multi-modality cardiopulmonary imaging (Echocardiography, CT, MRI, Nuclear) and advanced imaging including hyperpolarised Lung MRI. We have close links with multiple-specialities given the multi-systemic nature of pulmonary hypertension.
