About this trial
To determine whether changes in endothelial cell dysfunction are associated with changes in total pulmonary resistance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Subjects aged between 18-75 years old
PAH which is: idiopathic; PAH heritable; PAH associated with connective tissue disease; PAH after ≥ 1 year repair of congenital systemic to pulmonary shunt; or PAH associated with anorexignes or other drugs.
