Test exercise heart pressure measurements with an ultrasound
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 19 years old.
- You have shortness of breath when you exert yourself (for example, walking or climbing stairs).
- You can sign consent after the study team explains what will happen.
- You must be able to complete the heart measurements both at rest and during exercise.
- Your blood pressure at rest must be controlled (not above 160/100).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses special tests to see if you have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who feel short of breath but haven't been diagnosed with this condition yet.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.
This study looks at how well you can exercise and how your body composition relates to tiny blood-vessel problems in the heart. It may help doctors better understand symptoms and function in people who don’t have major blockages in the large heart arteries.
This study uses a special ultrasound (echocardiography) with a contrast dye to see how blood flows through your lungs during exercise. It aims to help doctors better understand why patients get short of breath during activity.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
