Summary

Study Design: This is a two-part physiological for a device feasibility. Both studies are proof of concept descriptive pilot studies. The FIRST PART is a study of healthy volunteers and the SECOND PART of patients with pulmonary hypertension at routine cardiac catheterization laboratory (CATH-LABORATORY). Volunteers and patients will be enrolled sequentially; there is no group randomization. Overall hypothesis of this device feasibility study: To test a lightweight and portable method of synthesizing therapeutic levels of inhaled nitric oxide from air by electrical pulsed discharge.
