Exercise testing to assess outcomes in pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how well a treadmill/breathing exercise test can measure health outcomes in people with certain types of pulmonary hypertension. It may help your care team judge your status and track changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO group 1), or chronic blood clot–related pulmonary hypertension, or pulmonary arterial hypertension from another cause
- Your pulmonary hypertension is not caused by low oxygen levels
- Your pulmonary hypertension is not caused by problems on the left side of the heart
- You can safely do the cardiopulmonary exercise test (a monitored breathing/exercise test)
- You do not have recent repeated fainting episodes (syncope)

This trial tests whether a procedure called balloon pulmonary angioplasty is safe and effective for people with chronic thromboembolic disease in the lungs, especially when surgery isn’t an option. If you have CTEPH, it may help improve lung blood flow and symptoms.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
This study looks at patterns from specialized lung scan tests to help diagnose chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (a long-term problem with blood flow in the lungs after blood clots). If your results suggest this condition and you need a procedure to check heart pressure, you may be asked to join so the researchers can improve diagnosis.
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 trial tests whether an inhaled medication called treprostinil can improve exercise ability in people with exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension. It aims to see if the drug helps with shortness of breath during activity.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help people with pulmonary hypertension. You may join if your condition is stable and you haven't smoked in the last 10 years.
