Scientists probe hidden link between lung disease and high blood pressure in lungs
NCT ID NCT07184671
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will examine tissue and blood samples from 105 adults having lung surgery to understand why some people with chronic lung disease develop pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers will compare three groups: those with lung disease and pulmonary hypertension, those with lung disease only, and healthy controls. The goal is to find biological clues that could lead to better diagnosis or treatments in the future.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify biomarkers or targets for future treatments for pulmonary hypertension in lung disease patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and results may not apply to all patients.
