Researchers are studying how certain biological pathways in your body may affect the relationship between heart failure and lung problems. This observational study will follow 150 heart failure patients who are already undergoing standard heart testing (right heart catheterization) to understand these connections better. By learning more about these pathways, doctors hope to improve how they diagnose and treat patients with both heart and lung complications.
Many heart failure patients also develop lung problems that can worsen their condition and make treatment harder. Doctors don't fully understand why this happens or how to predict it in individual patients. This research aims to identify the biological mechanisms behind this connection so that better treatments and monitoring strategies can be developed.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would already be undergoing a right heart catheterization as part of your standard medical care — this study simply means researchers will collect and analyze additional information from your medical records and this procedure. For some participants (the transplant substudy), the study may involve closer monitoring during the time you're waiting for a heart transplant. The research is observational, meaning you won't receive a new medication or experimental treatment, but rather allow doctors to learn from your existing medical data.
