Risk factors for sudden high blood pressure in the lungs
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at what might cause a sudden, dangerous rise in blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension crisis). Knowing the risk factors could help doctors prevent these episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
- Your diagnosis was confirmed by a procedure called right heart catheterization.
- You have at least one year of follow-up visits recorded.
- You do not have other serious health problems like a recent heart attack, cancer, sepsis, or a blood clot in your lungs.
- You are not taking medications that strongly affect your blood flow or heart function.

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 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.
This study aims to better predict the future risk for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) by combining different types of health information collected over time. If you join, researchers will track your health data to build a tool that personalizes care and improves outcomes.
This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound measurement called pulmonary artery pressure can help doctors predict if a patient with shortness of breath has a blood clot in the lungs. It compares current pressure readings with past readings to see if changes might signal a clot.
This study investigates why some dialysis patients develop high blood pressure in their lung blood vessels and how it affects their health. Researchers will assess heart function and follow patients over time to better understand this condition.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
