Study on high blood pressure in the lungs with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks for a condition called pulmonary hypertension in people who have a certain type of heart failure (where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax well). It aims to find out how common it is and what it looks like.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a type of heart failure called diastolic heart failure (heart that pumps normally but doesn't relax well).
- Your doctor has used a scoring system called H2FPEF to confirm your heart failure.
- Your doctor suspects you may have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
- You do not have severe lung diseases like very advanced COPD or scarring of the lungs.
- You do not have a history of blood clots in the lungs causing high blood pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 is watching people who are having their first right heart catheterization to better understand and manage lung blood pressure problems. It may help doctors improve diagnosis and treatment for people with shortness of breath or suspected pulmonary hypertension.
This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
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.
