Quality of Life Questionnaire for Pulmonary Hypertension in Brazil
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a questionnaire (EMPHASIS-10) to measure quality of life in people with pulmonary hypertension. The goal is to adapt it for Brazilian Portuguese speakers so doctors can better understand how the disease affects daily life.
