Check heart and lung function using a painless chest scan
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a noninvasive scan that measures electrical signals across the chest to better understand breathing and heart-related circulation problems. It may help doctors learn what to monitor and how conditions like lung/airway pressure and vessel narrowing progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 2 weeks old and 40 years old
- You have one of these: diagnosed BPD, chronic lung disease from neuromuscular disease, or a neuromuscular-related condition (like Duchenne) with mild heart muscle weakness, or you are a healthy control
- You have had a VQ scan (a lung blood-flow test)
- You will have a heart catheter procedure for problems like high lung pressure or narrowed lung/heart vessels, or you are a healthy control
- You must be able to have sensors/lead pads placed on your chest without interference

This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This study uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to improve care.
This study uses a special camera system to look at how your chest moves when you breathe. It is for healthy people and helps doctors better understand normal breathing patterns.
