New blood test could catch deadly lung pressure disease sooner

NCT ID NCT04193046

Summary

This study aimed to find a new way to detect pulmonary hypertension (PH) earlier using a simple blood test. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 907 people to look for tiny genetic markers (called miRNAs) that might signal the disease. They compared the accuracy of this potential blood test to standard heart imaging and catheter procedures to see if it could help doctors diagnose PH sooner.
