Funded Activity Summary

Pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) is a lethal condition characterised by progressive destruction of the lung blood vessels. One major problem with PVD is that diagnosis is often made very late in the illness, when the pulmonary blood pressure rises. This project aims to develop a novel method to detect the early and clinically silent phase of PVD, by assessing the lung's blood vessel reserves. Early diagnosis of PVD will enable earlier treatment thereby improving prospects for treatment.
