Summary

This study looks at whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates, can safely lower blood pressure in the lungs of people with a serious type of pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung). The trial involves 36 adults who will receive either beetroot juice or a placebo for five days, along with standard care. The goal is to measure changes in lung artery pressure and check for safety, not to cure the condition.
