Cardiac Assessment by PV Loop in IPAH and Scleroderma PAH
This observational study is being done to understand why people with scleroderma can develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs, abbreviated PAH) and a weak heart muscle (heart failure). The study will also help the investigators understand why people with PAH from an unknown cause (called idiopathic …
Endothelial Dysfunction for Prognosis In Patients With preeClampSia
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder and can progress rapidly to severe adverse outcomes affecting both the mother and the fetus. Endothelial and microcirculatory dysfunction mediate systemic preeclampsia-related organ dysfunctions. Changes in endothelial and vascular function in preeclampsia have been demonstrated through reduced flow-mediated vasodilation as a result of reduced …
Pediatric Hypertension and the Renin-Angiotensin SystEm (PHRASE)
Studying the causal roles of components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (including angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), Ang II, and ACE), uric acid, and klotho in pediatric hypertension and related target organ injury, including in the heart, kidneys, vasculature, and brain. Recruiting children with a new hypertension diagnosis over a …
Swiss Postpartum Hypertension Cohort
This open label, prospective observational, single-center registry is to study short-, intermediate-and long-term course of postpartum hypertension and predictors/risk factors associated with long term cardiovascular and renal risk. Current disease management strategies will be evaluated.
New Orleans Pulmonary Hypertension Biobank
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition characterized by a mean pulmonary artery pressure >=25mmHg on right heart catheterization (RHC). Despite advances in PH care, outcomes are still sub-optimal and further research is required into the pathobiology of the disease and development of biomarkers that can guide clinical care. The …
Circulating MrgD in Pulmonary Hypertension
The aim of the study is to observe the change of the circulating MrgD level in patients with pulmonary hypertension compared with subjects without pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary Hypertension in Left Heart Disease
The goal is to compare patients with and without varying severity of pulmonary vascular disease based upon hemodynamic signatures, echocardiographic measures, and lung ultrasound, in tandem with expired gas metabolic testing and blood sampling.
Natural History of Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Background Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension (NCPH) is caused by liver diseases that increase pressure in the blood vessels of the liver. It seems to start slowly and not have many warning signs. Many people may not even know that they have a liver disease. There are no specific treatments for NCPH. …
Improving Pulmonary Hypertension Screening by Echocardiography
This study aims to assess the application of the novel IMPULSE algorithm for the detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in those with a low or intermediate probability of PH according to the British Society of Echocardiography (ESC) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines.
Giessen Pulmonary Hypertension in Lung Cancer Registry
The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and implications of pulmonary hypertension in lung cancer patients. To do so, data will be collected from all lung cancer patients at the university hospital Giessen. All data will be analyzed for possible hints of pulmonary hypertension as a comorbidity …
