Researchers at Medical University of Graz are building a comprehensive database and blood sample collection (called a biobank) from patients with pulmonary hypertension — a serious condition affecting lung blood vessels. By combining your medical history, test results, and blood samples, they hope to better understand how this disease develops and progresses, and to improve how doctors treat it.
Right now, doctors need better tools to understand pulmonary hypertension in all its forms and to track how well treatments are working. By gathering detailed medical information and blood samples from many patients in one place, researchers can spot patterns and discover new insights that might lead to better care.

You will visit the outpatient clinic where you'll have routine tests and procedures you may already be having for your condition — such as heart ultrasounds, heart catheterization, exercise tests, CT scans, or blood work. During these visits, your medical information will be entered into a database, and blood samples taken during routine blood draws will be stored for future research. There is no specific study drug or intervention; you're mainly sharing your existing medical data and routine blood samples to contribute to the research database.
