Blood cell function and stress in pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood cells work and handle stress in people with certain types of pulmonary hypertension. By understanding these processes, doctors hope to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension), confirmed by a heart catheterization test.
- Your condition falls into one of three groups: Group 1 (PAH), Group 3 (from lung disease), or Group 4 (from blood clots in the lungs).
- You are scheduled for a routine visit or a heart catheterization at the study center.
- You are willing to give consent to take part and allow your medical data to be used.

This trial uses special ultrasound imaging to look at how well the heart works in people newly diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to understand heart changes before and after starting PAH treatment.
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 special chemicals in the blood (metabolites) from people with both lung scarring and high lung blood pressure. It aims to learn how these chemicals change with or without treatment for the lung blood pressure.
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.
This study looks at how people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and certain genetic risks cope and how their bodies respond over time. It may help researchers understand factors linked to better or worse outcomes, and how different people manage the condition.
