Observing patients having a right heart catheterization
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study observes people who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization, a procedure that checks the pressure in your heart. It helps doctors learn more about heart conditions without adding any extra treatments or procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form
- You are scheduled for a right heart catheterization (a procedure to check the pressure in your heart)

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 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 MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
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.
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 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.
