Corvista, Mayo Clinic team up to study non-invasive PH diagnostic test
WHY IT MATTERS
If successful, this non-invasive test could help patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension get diagnosed faster and more accurately, potentially avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures like heart catheterization while ensuring those who need specialist care are properly referred.
Corvista Health and Mayo Clinic are working together to test a new blood test that could help doctors diagnose pulmonary hypertension (a serious lung disease where blood pressure in the lungs gets too high) without invasive procedures. The test aims to make it easier to identify who has the disease, figure out how severe it is, and decide who needs to see a specialist. This collaboration is an important step forward in developing better diagnostic tools for this condition.
Corvista Health will collaborate with Mayo Clinic to evaluate whether its non-invasive Corvista-PH test can improve the detection, risk stratification, and referral accuracy for people with suspected pulmonary hypertension (PH). “Collaborating with Mayo Clinic represents a defining moment for CorVista and for the advancement of pulmonary hypertension diagnostics,” Adrian Lam, president and CEO of Corvista […] The post Corvista, Mayo Clinic team up to study non-invasive PH diagn
