Non-invasive Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension by Impedance Cardiography
Non-invasive Diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension by Impedance Cardiography
The goal of the study is to prospectively evaluate Impedance Cardiography as a tool to detect
 pulmonary hypertension. According to our hypothesis Impedance Cardiography is a valuable
 method to differentiate patients without pulmonary hypertension from patients with pulmonary
 hypertension. The main objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity in
 comparison to the gold standard right heart catheterization.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Written Informed Consent
