Study breathing-heart timing differences in pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at timing mismatches (“dysynchrony”) in the heart and lungs in people with pulmonary hypertension. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how the timing affects heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pulmonary hypertension with a mean lung artery pressure of 25 mm Hg or higher at rest
- You must be able to do heart/lung testing such as an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) and an ECG (heart tracing)
- If you are in the control group, you’re having specific heart procedures/tests (like closing a certain heart valve opening or work-up for a harmless murmur) and your heart structure is normal
- Your pulmonary hypertension must not be from a reversible cause
- You must be at least 5 years old for the phase-2 part of the study

This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
This study looks at pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the lung arteries—in people with certain heart conditions (heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping function, or significant valve disease). It may help doctors better understand how lung blood pressure changes in these heart problems and guide care.
This study looks at whether a special CT scan of the lungs (CT pulmonary angiography) can give results similar to a more invasive heart catheterization test for measuring blood pressure in the lungs. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor pulmonary hypertension more easily in the future.
This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This trial uses data from standard heart tests to develop a better way to detect pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to help doctors diagnose this condition earlier and more accurately.
This study tests new “trial tools” and designs for running early research in people with pulmonary hypertension. If you qualify, you may be asked to do extra trial-related procedures to help researchers test the process safely and smoothly.
