Study of pulmonary arterial hypertension and lean muscle mass
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
- Your PAH is one of these types: idiopathic, heritable, drug/toxin-induced, or associated with connective tissue disease, HIV, congenital heart disease, or portopulmonary hypertension.
- Your PAH was diagnosed within the last 6 months, or you are on stable treatment for at least 3 months.
- You do not have severe lung disease (COPD or restrictive lung disease).
- You have not been hospitalized for heart failure in the last week.
- You do not have moderate or severe aortic or mitral valve disease.
- Your heart's ejection fraction is not below 40% (within the last year).
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
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 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 trial tests if special breathing exercises can help people with pulmonary hypertension. You may join if your condition is stable and you haven't smoked in the last 10 years.
