Metabolomics Workbench ST000763 - GNPS - Untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics of scleroderma PAH discovery cohort

This experiment was performed using the following cohorts: 1) healthy controls, 2) patients with scleroderma at low risk for pulmonary hypertension, 3) pateints with scleroderma at high risk for pulmonary hypertension who underwent a catheterization and were found to have normal pressures, borderline elevated pressures or pulmonary arterial hypertensino (PAH). Whole blood was drawn directly into EDTA tubes at rest and again at peak exercise for each human subject. The samples were processed to plasma by MCRU and stored at -80 in the Biorepository.
