Conditions

• Heart Failure
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Abnormality

Interventions

• DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: non-contrast chest CT
• DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: spirometry with diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) analysis
• DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: Omics analysis of blood plasma obtained from pulmonary artery or peripheral blood
• DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: supine bike exercise during right heart catheterisation
• DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: Lung ventilation/perfusion SPECT
