Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
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 investigators are
establishing a biobank to collect samples (blood, urine, stool) from patients with pulmonary
hypertension, patients at high risk for pulmonary hypertension, healthy controls, and
patients undergoing right heart catheterization. Specimens will be stored for future
investigations.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and followed at the Comprehensive Pulmonary
Hypertension Center OR

- Diagnosis of systemic sclerosis and followed at the Comprehensive Pulmonary
Hypertension Center OR

- Diagnosis of mixed connective tissue disease and followed at the Comprehensive
Pulmonary Hypertension Center OR

- Undergoing outpatient right heart catheterization

Exclusion Criteria:

- Age<18
