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 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 trial tests if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help find signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and related heart problems. You may help by taking part if you're already having an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) at Imperial College NHS Trust.
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 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.
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.
