About the project
The Pulmonary Hypertension collection promotes, preparation and storage of biological samples (blood, serum, DNA) of patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension.
The Pulmonary Hypertension collection samples are linked to clinical data in the Spanish Registry of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (REHAP).
The Pulmonary Hypertension collection samples are focused on minority forms of pulmonary hypertension:
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension:
- Idiopathic
- Heritable
- Associated with connective tissue diseases
- Associated with congenital heart diseases
- Associated with portal hypertension
- Associated with HIV infection
- Associated with drug- and toxin-induced
- Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
- Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis
- Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary hypertension with unclear multifactorial mechanisms
