Summary
This study looks at whether adding special blood tests (biomarkers) to the usual heart-lung exam can help doctors pick the right therapy for people with pulmonary hypertension. About 100 adults undergoing a routine heart catheterization will have extra blood samples taken from their lungs. The goal is to see if these markers lead to better treatment choices and improved outcomes.
