First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study looks at how long it takes for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to get a correct diagnosis after their first symptoms appear. Researchers will review medical records from 139 adults in Brazil to find out what causes delays, such as seeing many different doctors or getting wrong diagnoses. The goal is to help doctors diagnose PAH earlier so patients can start treatment sooner.
