U.S., Aug. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07768644) titled 'Nailfold Capillaroscopy in PH' on May 20.

It means elevated blood pressure in the lungs which can rapidly lead to failure of the right side of the heart and is ultimately fatal. Diagnosing PH currently involves a number of scans, breathing tests and often an invasive test called right heart catheterisation [RHC] (which involves inserting a tube into a large vein to measure the lung blood pressure from the).
