Monitoring breathing and heart rate during pulmonary hypertension treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs respond to starting a blood vessel–widening medication (a vasodilator) for pulmonary hypertension. It will closely monitor your breathing and heart rhythm to help doctors understand and improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older, and you have been diagnosed with a specific type of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) confirmed by a catheter test.
- You have been prescribed a vasodilator, a medicine that opens up blood vessels to lower pressure, for your pulmonary hypertension.
- You cannot be using a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation) at home.
- You do not have certain other serious conditions that would make the trial unsafe, such as Eisenmenger syndrome, systemic scleroderma, or a recent heart attack, and you do not have a pacemaker.
- If you are a woman who can become pregnant, you must be using reliable birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before joining.

This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, added to your regular medications, can help people who are newly diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension feel better and improve their daily function.
This trial tests an experimental drug called HS235 for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if the drug can help improve symptoms and exercise ability.
This is a long-term study that enrolls people who have been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lung arteries). It collects medical information over time to better understand the condition and what to expect.
This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
This study tests new “trial tools” and designs for running early research in people with pulmonary hypertension. If you qualify, you may be asked to do extra trial-related procedures to help researchers test the process safely and smoothly.
This study is tracking people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) over time to see how their condition and quality of life change. By joining, you help doctors better understand the disease and improve care for others like you.
