Right heart function in schistosomiasis with lung high blood pressure
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the right side of your heart works with the blood vessels in your lungs. It focuses on people who have both schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection) and high blood pressure in the lungs, to help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection) or a history of exposure to it.
- Your doctor suspects you have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) based on tests or symptoms.
- You do not have significant other heart problems (like heart failure, valve disease, or congenital heart defects) or severe lung disease (like severe COPD or lung scarring).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney failure unrelated to schistosomiasis.
- You are not pregnant or refusing to participate in the study.

This trial tests whether giving treatment for schistosomiasis (a parasite infection) more often helps reduce liver scarring (fibrosis). It compares different schedules of medication to see which works best and may improve liver health.
This study looks at whether people with certain blood disorders (myeloproliferative neoplasms) have higher rates of high blood pressure in the lungs and reduced right heart function. By using an ultrasound of the heart, researchers hope to learn more about these complications and potentially improve monitoring and care.
This study looks at the long-term effects of a medicine called selexipag on people with pulmonary hypertension caused by schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection. It aims to see if selexipag improves outcomes compared to standard care.
This study looks at people who have both liver blood vessel issues and high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to learn more about this condition and how it affects people over time, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
This study looks at how heart failure affects blood vessels in the lungs. If you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and need a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
