How environmental factors affect pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how things in your environment (like pollution, diet, or lifestyle) might be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By comparing two groups of patients, researchers hope to find new clues about the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) confirmed by heart catheterization in the last year.
- You either have idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH).
- You can understand French well enough to fill out questionnaires.
- You are willing to provide a hair sample (at least 2 cm long).

This trial looks at how patients with pulmonary hypertension and their caregivers get information about the condition. By filling out a questionnaire, you can help improve how health information is shared in the future.
This study aims to validate a questionnaire that measures how well patients understand pulmonary hypertension. If you have been diagnosed with Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and can read the questionnaire, you may be able to help researchers make sure it's a useful tool.
This study follows people with different types of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) to see how starting specific lung blood vessel medicines affects outcomes. It may help improve how clinicians choose and monitor treatment over time.
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 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 looks at the genes that may be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By providing a saliva sample and filling out a health survey from home, you can help researchers learn more about this condition.
