Using heart tests to better detect pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), an electrocardiogram (heart rhythm test), and a right heart catheterization (a tube inserted into the heart to measure pressures) as part of your regular medical care.
- You do not have known or suspected congenital heart disease (a heart condition you were born with).
- You have not opted out of allowing your health data to be used for research (the national data opt-out in England or a similar scheme in Scotland).

This study tests new “trial tools” and designs for running early research in people with pulmonary hypertension. If you qualify, you may be asked to do extra trial-related procedures to help researchers test the process safely and smoothly.
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 heart imaging tests to better understand pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and predict outcomes. It may help doctors tailor treatment for people with PAH.
This study tests a new, noninvasive way to measure lung function in people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It uses a belt with electrodes placed around your chest during a standard heart catheterization procedure.
This study is tracking people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) over time to see how their condition and quality of life change. By joining, you help doctors better understand the disease and improve care for others like you.
