Lund Pulmonary Hypertension Research Network

The Lund Pulmonary Hypertension Research Network (LPHRN) was initiated in 2011 to promote research within the field of pulmonary hypertension at Skåne University hospital (SUS) in Lund, Sweden.

Selected Ongoing Projects

1. Modulators of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary hypertension - Implications for new treatments - Göran Rådegran, The Clinic for Heart Failure and Valvular Disease, SUS - Göran Rådegran samt ÖCRC

2. Hemodynamic consequences of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension - Göran Rådegran, The Clinic for Heart Failure and Valvular Disease, SUS - Göran Rådegran

3. Metabolic and clinical determinants of heart and pulmonary vascular function - The Lund Cardio Pulmonary Registry - Göran Rådegran, The Clinic for Heart Failure and Valvular Disease, SUS - Göran Rådegran samt LCPR

4 . Pulmonary arterial hypertension - patophysiology & clinic - MRI, pulmonary scintigraphy & hemaodynamic measurements - Henrik Engblom & Göran Rådegran, The Clinic for Heart Failure and Valvular Disease, SUS.

5. Characterisation of heart function with three dimensional echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging in relation to invasive hemodynamic measurements in patients with pulmonary hypertension of different causes - Ellen Ostenfeld.

6. Characterisation of heart function with speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with pulmonary hypertension of different causes prior to and after medication - Göran Rådegran and Carl Meurling, The Clinic for Heart Failure and Valvular Disease, SUS.
