A Registry for the Scientific Study of Pulmonary Hypertension in the United States

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to identify, characterize, and study a group of patients who have pulmonary hypertension, newly diagnosed in the current treatment era, when investigators can use the contributions of genomics and clinical imaging tests to further understand the disease. This registry should advance knowledge in the field both from a molecular (genomic and proteomic) and from a clinical phenotype standpoint.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
