Summary

This completed study looked at how the immune system might affect the outlook for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Researchers took blood and skin samples from 629 participants with different types of PAH to search for specific antibodies. The goal was to better understand the role of autoimmunity in the disease.
