Carnitine Consumption and Augmentation in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate how much of a naturally occurring nutrient, known as carnitine, is gained through a person’s diet, and to determine if using a supplement in the form of tablets can increase a person’s blood levels of carnitine. Patients with PAH have low levels of carnitine in their natural diets, and we want to observe if the use of a daily carnitine supplement will increase the carnitine levels in their blood.
