Scientists probe why women get this rare lung disease more than men
NCT ID NCT01884051
Summary
This research aims to better understand the underlying causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a serious lung and heart condition. The study will investigate why women are affected more often than men by examining hormone levels, the role of insulin resistance, and testing a potential drug (recombinant ACE2) in animal models. It involves observing and measuring factors in about 1,900 participants with PAH or at risk for it, with the goal of guiding future treatment development.
