Heart and lung test before chest surgery helps predict risks
This study checks if a simple test of your heart and breathing before chest surgery can help predict problems after the operation. It looks at people having surgery for lung, esophagus, stomach, or chest tumors.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07005193Recruiting
Cleaner cooking and ventilation for better heart and lung health
This study tests if switching to cleaner LPG gas stoves and adding kitchen fans can reduce indoor air pollution and improve your heart and lung health. You would be asked to use a new stove and fan, and we will check your health over time.
Zhumadian, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06972784Recruiting
Heart and lung health study at Xiangya Hospital
This study looks at how heart and lung function are related over time. You may be able to join if you have had both a heart test (like an echo) and a lung test (like a breathing test) within one year of each other, and if your medical records are complete.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT06792617Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Exercise for people on ECMO life support
This study tests if gentle exercise in bed can help people on ECMO (a life-support machine for heart and lungs) get stronger and recover faster. It is for adults in the ICU who are stable enough to move safely.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06275984Enrolling by invitation
Online CPR training for volunteers in Camp de Tarragona
This trial tests an online training program to teach everyday people how to perform CPR. It wants to see if a network of volunteers can be trained effectively through the internet, so you can help save lives in your community.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05678530Recruiting
Testing a new way to measure fitness during heart tests
This study is testing a new method to estimate your fitness level from the results of standard heart tests you may already be getting. It aims to provide useful information to help your care team understand your heart and lung health better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05487612Recruiting
MiECC heart-lung machine vs standard bypass during heart surgery
This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
TorontoAges 18–85 - NCT05101746Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Nitric oxide to protect brain and kidneys in babies during heart surgery
This trial studies whether giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass surgery can help protect a baby’s brain and kidneys. If you qualify, the study team will check outcomes after surgery to see if benefits happen compared with usual care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges birth–1 year - NCT04296071Recruiting
Testing blood markers after heart surgery in infants
This trial studies patterns in immune cells (neutrophils) in very young children who undergo heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The goal is to better understand and potentially reduce lung injury after surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 1 year - NCT04446585Recruiting
Study of early help for witnessed home cardiac arrests
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiopulmonary?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 169 recruiting cardiopulmonary studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiopulmonary trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiopulmonary trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
