RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL
Registration Study for Rare Type of Pulmonary Hypertension
About This Trial
The knowledge on the rare type of pulmonary hypertension which can not be explained by left heart disease, respiratory disease or congenital heart disease is very limited. Investigators aim to setup a national registration study for the rare type of pulmonary hypertension, to understand the natural history, survival, progression, genetic and environmental contributions to disease.
