Sleep assessment in pulmonary arterial hypertension at high versus low altitude
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares sleep quality and breathing patterns in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who live at high altitude versus those at sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects sleep in PAH, which could help improve care for patients living in high-altitude areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old.
- Live permanently at an altitude above 2600 meters (about 8500 feet).
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
- Be stable on your current PAH treatment.
- Have mild to moderate symptoms (NYHA class I to III).
- Not have traveled to low altitudes (below 2000 meters) overnight in the past 4 weeks.

This study compares how the heart and lungs respond at high altitude versus sea level in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It may help doctors understand if living at high altitude affects symptoms and treatment.
This study compares how well your lungs work when you are at high altitude (your home) versus when you visit sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects people with pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study looks at how the heart and lungs respond when people with pulmonary hypertension travel from low to high altitude. It may help doctors understand how to better care for patients living at high altitudes.
This study looks at how your heart rate changes when you travel from high altitude (about 2850 meters) down to sea level and back up again. It may help doctors understand if such travel is safe for people with pulmonary hypertension.
This study compares how well people sleep when they live at very high altitudes (above 2600 meters) compared to at sea level. By participating, you'll help researchers learn how high-altitude living affects sleep and breathing during the night.
This study compares how far people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can walk in six minutes at high altitude versus at sea level. Understanding this difference may help doctors better tailor care for patients living at high altitudes.
