Thoraxklinik Heidelberg gGmbH

The clinical research activity at Thoraxklinik Heidelberg gGmbH is centered on pulmonary hypertension, with a strong focus on conditions that affect the pulmonary circulation and heart-lung interaction. The main disease areas include pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, reflecting interest in both vascular remodeling and persistent obstruction of the pulmonary vessels.

• Pulmonary arterial hypertension
• Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
• Pulmonary vascular disease

Research activity also extends to early-stage pulmonary vascular disease, with attention to identifying cardiovascular changes linked to evolving pressure overload in the right heart.
