Stethoscope tool to detect pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a computer “listening” algorithm that uses an electronic stethoscope to help detect pulmonary hypertension. It may help spot this condition earlier by turning routine heart-lung exams into more informative screenings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be scheduled for a complete 2D heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) or a right heart catheter test
- You cannot be having a limited echocardiogram (only a partial ultrasound)
- You cannot be intubated (a breathing tube in place)

This study uses artificial intelligence to look for signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and related heart problems using heart ultrasound images and stethoscope recordings. Participating could help improve detection of this condition.
This trial uses data from standard heart tests to develop a better way to detect pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to help doctors diagnose this condition earlier and more accurately.
This study screens people with diastolic heart failure (a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff) to see if they also have high blood pressure in the lungs, called pulmonary hypertension. It aims to better understand this condition and how it affects patients.
This study looks at pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the lung arteries—in people with certain heart conditions (heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping function, or significant valve disease). It may help doctors better understand how lung blood pressure changes in these heart problems and guide care.
This study uses ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check for signs of high blood pressure in the lungs in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see how often this occurs and may help detect heart issues earlier in OSA patients.
This trial tests if using ultrasound to guide a catheter into the lung's blood vessels is a good way to diagnose pulmonary hypertension. It may help find a safer, more accurate method for diagnosis.
