Pulmonary Hypertension Biorepository and Registry
Pulmonary Hypertension Biorepository and Registry
Establish a pulmonary hypertension registry and biorepository to lead towards a further
 understanding of the disease.
The aim of this project will be to establish a broad and wide-ranging registry and
 biorepository of blood samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension, including all WHO
 groups I-V to be used for future research in these areas. This will be both a retrospective
 and prospective project. The registry and biorepository will be utilized to study and grow
 our knowledge of the cellular mechanisms and mediators of the disease and, in turn,
 contribute to advancements in treatment.
