Breath and heart tests to study lung disease stiffness
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can give written consent (you’re able and willing to sign forms).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a long-term lung diagnosis such as COPD, asthma, cystic fibrosis, or an interstitial lung disease.
- You are not currently pregnant.
- You don’t have certain recent serious heart or stroke events (within the last 3 months).
- You can do heart monitoring/ECG testing and don’t have conditions that would interfere with the ECG.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This study checks how exhaled breath changes over 6-month visits in people with COPD, to see if it can help track lung health over time. It may help find new ways to monitor your condition without invasive tests.
This study tests a portable device that measures how well your lungs work by sending gentle sound waves or pulses through them. It aims to see if this new device can accurately detect and differentiate various chronic lung conditions, potentially offering a simpler and more accessible way to monitor respiratory health.
This study tests a new device that listens to your breathing to check how well your lungs are working. It might help diagnose lung conditions without the need for forceful blowing tests, making it easier for patients.
