Conditions

Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension of Congenital Heart Disease Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (WHO Group 1 PH)Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Connective Tissue Disease (Disorder)Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Connective Tissue Disease Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated With Schistosomiasis (Disorder)Pulmonary Arterial and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about how genes impact the risk of pulmonary hypertension. Anyone 18 or older living in the US is eligible, and a diagnosis of PH is NOT required. Study participation is online, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete health surveys and request a saliva collection kit sent through US mail.
