In this study the investigators want to collect clinical data of PH patients and controls in a database as well as blood samples in a biobank. The combination of anamnestic and clinical data and biomarkers should provide a better characterization of our patients and should improve the analysis of the disease development of different PH forms and therapeutic aspects. After given informed consent patients' data are entered in a database at different time points. The database includes parameter of several invasive and non-invasive investigations like right heart catheterization (RHC), echocardiography, ECG, pulmonary function tests, cardiorespiratory exercise testing, 6-minute walk test, computed tomography, MRI, polysomnography, blood gas analysis and laboratory data as well as demographic data of the patients. The blood samples are taken during routine punctuation and are stored in our biobank.
