Studying heart function in low oxygen after HAPE
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart responds to low oxygen levels in people who have had high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in the past. It will help researchers better understand right heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with or had symptoms of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) before.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You live below 800 meters (about 2,600 feet) and have not been above 2,500 meters (about 8,200 feet) for more than 24 hours in the last three weeks.
- You do not have any other heart or lung condition.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to follow study procedures without language, mental, or physical barriers.

This study tests how your heart’s right ventricle handles low oxygen (like at high altitude) in healthy adults. You will be exposed to a low-oxygen environment for a short time to see how your heart responds.
This study tests how your heart's right ventricle adapts when you breathe lower-oxygen air (like at high altitude). If you have well-controlled asthma, researchers want to see if your heart handles the challenge differently.
This study looks at how the heart and lungs respond when people with pulmonary hypertension travel from low to high altitude. It may help doctors understand how to better care for patients living at high altitudes.
This study compares how the heart and lungs respond at high altitude versus sea level in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It may help doctors understand if living at high altitude affects symptoms and treatment.
This study compares how well your lungs work when you are at high altitude (your home) versus when you visit sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects people with pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study compares sleep quality and breathing patterns in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who live at high altitude versus those at sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects sleep in PAH, which could help improve care for patients living in high-altitude areas.
