Researchers want to understand why biological sex might affect how well the right side of the heart recovers after surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (a condition where blood clots block lung blood vessels). They will review medical records and heart imaging from patients diagnosed with this condition and track how their heart function changes after surgery. This study could help doctors predict recovery and provide better personalized care.
Currently, doctors don't know if men and women recover differently from this type of surgery. Understanding how sex hormones and biological sex influence heart recovery could help doctors better predict outcomes and improve treatment plans for all patients.

Participation involves allowing researchers to access your existing medical records and heart imaging tests (echocardiograms) from when you were first diagnosed and after surgery. There are no new medications to take, no procedures to undergo, and no clinic visits required—researchers will review your records at Intermountain Health Care. The study compares your heart function at diagnosis and after surgery to understand recovery patterns.
