Pulmonary Hypertension in Latin America: RELAHP II and HAPred.co Database Convergence Initiative

Abstract

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a particular hemodynamic disorder associated to several diseases. The registries or data-bases are able to identify epidemiological profiles, improve diagnoses, recognize better therapies and outcomes. Greater diversities of human populations,   physical environments and unequal health resources access turn this task into a challenge in Latin America. The authors analyze the RELAHPII and the registry of HAPred.co in order to observe suitable features for a joint data-base. This tool could be amplified with other countries in the region.
