Using artificial intelligence to detect high blood pressure in the lungs
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You must be scheduled for an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) at an Imperial College NHS Trust hospital.
- You must not have any chest wound, skin condition, or other feature that would prevent a stethoscope from being placed on your chest.

This study uses artificial intelligence to help evaluate heart ultrasounds. It is testing whether AI can accurately measure heart function in adults with various heart conditions, such as coronary disease, valve problems, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.
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.
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 trial uses an artificial intelligence tool to look at results from tests used to evaluate pulmonary hypertension. It may help doctors make sense of your past test results, especially heart and lung evaluation results.
This study uses AI to read electrocardiograms (heart rhythm tests) to see if they can detect certain heart structure problems earlier. If you are already scheduled for an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), your data may be used to help improve detection.
This study looks at patterns on a 12-lead ECG (a common heart tracing) to help diagnose pulmonary hypertension, using results from a right heart catheter test. It may help doctors use ECGs better in the future, without changing your current care.
