What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to understand how blood cell (including peripheral blood mononuclear cells ((PBMCs) or platelets) function and oxidative stress can help physicians detect and predict the course of pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension. We hypothesize that changes in the mitochondrial function of blood cells and oxidative stress may be early markers of disease progression and severity. The study will also explore how these blood markers relate to routine clinical and heart function measurements, such as echocardiography, right heart catheterization, 6-minute walk tests, and functional status, to see if they can help monitor patients over time and guide personalized care. This is a non-interventional study. Blood samples will be collected during routine visits planned for diagnosis and follow-up. The study will include 120 patients diagnosed with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension, who

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension confirmed by right heart catheterization * Patients classified according to the international clinical classification: * Group 1: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) * Group 3: Pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic respiratory diseases and/or hypoxia * Group 4: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) * Patients scheduled for routine clinical follow-up and/or right heart catheterization at the study center. * Ability and willingness to provide informed consent for participation and data analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * Postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary arterial wedge pressure \>15 mmHg). * Conditions precluding safe blood sampling (e.g., severe anemia, coagulopathy). * Patients already enrolled in interventional clinical trials that could interfere with mitochondrial or oxidative stress measurements * Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent * Pregnancy or breastfeeding
