How low oxygen affects heart function in asthma
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with asthma that is well controlled
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You live below 2,600 feet (800 meters) and have not been above 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) for more than 24 hours in the past 3 weeks
- You do not have other lung, heart, or major health problems
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You can understand the study procedures in the language provided

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 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.
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
This study looks at how healthy people respond to exercise in low-oxygen conditions (like high altitude). It will help researchers understand the body’s normal reactions.
This study examines how your brain's ability to remember tasks changes when exposed to moderate altitude with lower oxygen. Researchers want to understand this effect in healthy volunteers to advance knowledge about altitude physiology.
This study tests whether exercising in a low-oxygen environment (like high altitude) can affect stress, inflammation, and energy in your body. It is for young males who are generally healthy and can exercise safely.
