Fat in the heart: new clues for PAH?
NCT ID NCT05462574
First seen Jun 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study examines why fat accumulates in the right ventricle of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and how it affects heart function and exercise ability. Researchers will use MRI and blood tests in 75 adults with PAH to track changes over time. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could point toward new ways to monitor or treat PAH by targeting fat accumulation in the heart.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (75 people) and early-stage, so findings may not lead to direct therapies.
