Testing cardiovascular risk in people with COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk in people who have stable COPD or a recent worsening of COPD. It may help researchers understand which risks to monitor during and after a COPD flare and how to prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 to 85
- Have COPD that is confirmed by breathing test (FEV1/FVC below 70%) or a doctor’s diagnosis
- If you were recently hospitalized for a COPD flare, meet specific breathing and blood test results during that hospital stay
- At the time of study enrollment after the flare, your pH must be above 7.33 for a sustained period, and you must not have fever above 38.5°C
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must be able to give written consent
- You should not be taking certain antioxidants like N-acetyl-cysteine, selenium, or vitamins C or E

This study tests whether a structured care program for COPD can lower how often your symptoms flare up. It may help by improving everyday management and preventing future worsening.
This study follows people who currently smoke and people who may have newly found COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) based on breathing test results. It aims to better understand lung disease in real life and what it means for health over time.
This study looks for undiagnosed COPD in people with heart conditions like coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, or chronic heart failure. If you have heart disease and are over 40, you may join to see if you also have COPD and benefit from combined care.
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
This study looks at people who have both COPD (a long-term lung condition) and a heart problem. The goal is to learn more about how these two conditions affect each other and to help doctors provide better care.
This study follows people with COPD flare-ups (sudden worsening of breathing) to better understand what happens and what might help. You may be asked for consent and lung-function tests if you meet the breathing and age requirements.
