Project summary:
Objective:
To improve the diagnosis and treatment options for cardiovascular disease patients within three specific disease groups at Paula Stradiņa Clinical University Hospital:
- Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH): Enhance diagnostics and treatment options in Latvia by providing treatment through balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA).
- Introduce genetic testing that meets international standards, ensuring fast and cost-effective diagnostics within the Lipid Clinic model. This approach aims to improve diagnosis and refine indications for early primary prevention, reducing the prevalence of early cardiovascular disease in Latvia.
- Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) and Carotid Artery Stenosis (CAS): Reduce cardiovascular mortality rates among patients suffering from CLI and CAS.
