Study heavy metal levels in pulmonary hypertension patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether heavy metals in the body—and an imbalance of important minerals—are different in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It may help researchers understand possible causes and targets for future treatments.

This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. The samples are used for research to better understand PH and possibly improve future treatments.
This study aims to better predict the future risk for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) by combining different types of health information collected over time. If you join, researchers will track your health data to build a tool that personalizes care and improves outcomes.
This study looks at how pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects lean muscle mass. It aims to understand the relationship between PAH and muscle loss, which could help improve treatments and quality of life.
This study collects information from people with rare types of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and from healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand these conditions, especially using a special lung-heart test to confirm the diagnosis.
