Study pulmonary hypertension in heart failure and valve disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have an invasive right-heart catheter test (a thin tube into the heart/lung blood vessels).
- You have symptoms from one of these: heart failure with normal pumping (HFpEF) or reduced pumping (HFrEF), or significant mitral/aortic valve disease.
- You must be able and willing to get an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) with good image quality.
- You do not have pulmonary hypertension from the wrong causes (not Group 1, 3, 4, or 5).
- You should not be on lung-specific blood pressure medications for pulmonary hypertension.

This study looks at how lung blood vessels work in people who are getting their heart valve fixed or replaced. It may help doctors understand and manage related lung issues.
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 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 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 looks at how heart failure affects blood vessels in the lungs. If you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and need a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
This study uses advanced 3D ultrasound to measure the connection between the right atrium and right ventricle. It aims to establish normal ranges and check how this measurement changes in conditions like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and valve problems. Participation may help improve diagnosis and care for these heart conditions.
