Cardiac and Lung Rehabilitation for Pulmonary Hypertension
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised rehabilitation program—combining heart and lung exercises—can help patients with pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in lung blood vessels) breathe better and exercise more comfortably. Participants will do tailored physical therapy while doctors monitor how their heart and lungs respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pulmonary hypertension that's stable on current medications, with lung blood pressure ≥ 25 mmHg (confirmed by heart catheterization—a procedure where a tube checks pressure in your heart)
- Your pulmonary hypertension is caused by lung disease (COPD, sleep apnea, or restrictive lung disease like pulmonary fibrosis)
- You are between 45 and 65 years old
- Your BMI (body mass index) is between 25 and 34.9
- You have mild-to-moderate activity limitation from your condition (WHO class II or III—you can do some activities but feel short of breath with normal exertion)
- You have no recent heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, kidney failure, walking problems, or serious hearing/vision loss

This study tests whether daily home exercises can help people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) combined with interstitial lung disease (scarring of lung tissue). Researchers will send you daily messages to support your exercise routine and see if it improves your symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether a special exercise training program can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) feel better and stay stable. If you have mild-to-moderate PAH and are on stable medication, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises can help people with pulmonary hypertension. You may join if your condition is stable and you haven't smoked in the last 10 years.
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 studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if regular exercise can improve your daily function and quality of life.
