Active clinical trials for "Vascular Remodeling"

HRCT was used to evaluate pulmonary vascular remodeling in COPD. The role of H2S in pulmonary vascular remodeling in COPD was analyzed, in order to provide a basis for seeking new therapeutic targets.

To identify epigenetic-sensitive modifications and novel biomarkers linked to pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), we will perform the first study analyzing differentially-methylated regions (DMRs) in circulating T cells (CD04+ and CD08+) isolated from peripheral blood of patients undergoing right heart catheterization. Moreover, we will perform RNA deep sequencing on lung tissue biopsies to validate if DNA methylation signatures in circulating T cells could reflect perturbations of gene expression in lung tissues.

This study aims to explore the structural and functional characteristics of the pulmonary vasculature in adult Fontan patients. Objectives: Determine the effect of pulmonary vasodilatation on indexed cardiac output during simulated exercise. Characterization of structural properties of small pulmonary arteries.
