BeijingAges 35–70 - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT06679777Recruiting
Swedish heart and lung imaging study 2
This study invites people who already took part in the first SCAPIS study to have follow-up heart and lung imaging. It helps researchers learn how these organs change over time.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT07656259Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the heart ICU
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07641413Recruiting
Lung and heart health across decades in veterans
This study looks at how lungs and hearts work in healthy veterans over time. If you have no major health conditions, you may help researchers learn how these organs age naturally.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 24–68 - NCT07646249Recruiting
Best breathing support after surgery in the ICU
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.
Alessandria, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05344573Recruiting
Testing better blood-flow rhythms during heart bypass surgery
This trial studies ways to control the “pulsatility” (how the blood pressure pulses during circulation) while you are on a heart-lung bypass machine. It may help improve safety and heart function during planned heart surgery.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50–70 - NCT03204357Recruiting
Using your own blood after heart-lung machine surgery
This trial studies giving a “fresh” blood transfusion from your own blood after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help patients avoid needing donated blood, but it only works for people who meet specific safety and timing requirements.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05917717Recruiting
Test a care bundle for adults after witnessed cardiac arrest
This trial studies a “care bundle” approach using special devices to improve care after an out-of-hospital or witnessed cardiac arrest. It may help by standardizing emergency treatment for people right after their heart stops.
Southampton, EnglandAges 18–120 - NCT07584187Recruiting
Brain monitoring during emergency heart-lung support treatment
This study uses special monitoring devices to measure brain activity in patients receiving emergency mechanical heart-lung support (ECMO). The goal is to help doctors quickly predict which patients might recover neurologically and guide early treatment decisions.
ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07573150Recruiting
Pupil Measurements to Predict Breathing Problems After Surgery in Children
This study tests whether measuring how a child's pupils (the dark circles in the eyes) respond to light can predict which children might have breathing problems after receiving pain medication during tonsil surgery. The goal is to help doctors catch and prevent serious breathing issues before they happen.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT07573683Recruiting
Breathing Exercises With Aerobic Activity for Early-Stage High Blood Pressure
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (coherent breathing) with aerobic exercise helps lower blood pressure and improve quality of life in people with stage 1 hypertension. You'll learn these techniques and perform them regularly to see if they work better together than exercise alone.
