Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify and develop biomarker signatures based on circulating micro ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the blood samples associated with high risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH) to assist in the diagnosis of PH; to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the biomarker signatures in identifying participants with PH by comparing the biomarker signatures to right heart catheterization (RHC) and to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the biomarker signatures with the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) in identifying participants with PH documented by RHC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants with PH and non-PH

Blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis from new (incident) and existing (prevalent) participants who undergo right heart catheterization (RHC). Participants will be categorized into non-PH or PH based on the results of the RHC and those who are found to have PH will be further classified into the different groups of PH. A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) will be performed if not done previously.

Group Type OTHER

Blood Sample

Intervention Type OTHER

Prevalent (existing) and incident (new) participants who are found to either have PH or not by RHC will provide blood sample for the establishment of a biomarker signature of PH.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Having undergone an right heart catheterization (RHC) within 18 months (prevalent PH participants) or 6 months (prevalent non-PH participants) or have undergone or planned RHC within 6 weeks (incident participants). The results of the incident RHC (incident participants) or the most recent RHC (prevalent participants) will be used to classify the participant in one of the above study population categories
* Medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history and vital signs performed at screening. Any abnormalities must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator
* Must provide an Informed Consent Form (ICF) (or their legally acceptable representative must sign) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study
* Must provide a separate informed consent (or their legally-acceptable representative must sign) if he or she agrees to provide an optional (deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\]) sample for research (where local regulations permit). Refusal to give consent for the optional (DNA) research sample does not exclude a participant from participation in the study

Exclusion Criteria

* Participants requiring renal dialysis
* History of lung or heart transplant (waiting list status or consideration of enlisting is allowed)
* Severe left ventricular dysfunction: Left ventricular ejection function less then (\<) 35 percent (%)
