What this trial studies
The Institutional Registry at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires enrolls adults with WHO Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension using 2022 ESC/ERS hemodynamic criteria. It combines prospectively enrolled incident cases with prevalent HMO patients who were diagnosed before the registry began. Clinical, hemodynamic, treatment, and outcome data are recorded to characterize disease course and real‑world management. As an observational single‑center registry, it does not assign interventions but documents routine clinical care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the registry could improve understanding of local disease patterns and treatment outcomes to help guide better care for patients with PAH.
How similar studies have gone: Other national and international PAH registries have successfully provided important epidemiologic and outcome data, so this approach is well established.
