Heart ultrasound study for sleep apnea patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to check for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find hidden heart strain in sleep apnea patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea from an overnight sleep study
- Your sleep study showed 5 or more breathing pauses per hour
- You do not have significant lung, heart, or blood-clot conditions that cause lung pressure problems
- You are not using any medication specifically to lower lung blood pressure
- You are not on long-term oxygen therapy

This study helps doctors understand how to better adjust sleep apnea breathing machines by measuring your airway. You'll have a simple breathing test and overnight sleep study to help improve treatment.
This study tests if a bedside ultrasound can help check fluid in the lungs of pregnant women who have untreated sleep apnea or are at high risk for it. The goal is to see if this quick test can identify women who might need extra care during pregnancy.
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
This study looks at how sleep-related breathing issues affect heart rate control in people with pulmonary hypertension. It uses a sleep study device to measure oxygen levels and heart rhythm over several nights.
