Lung blood pressure and right heart function in blood disorders
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (a blood disorder that makes too many cells), such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis.
- Your condition is stable, meaning your blood counts and symptoms are not rapidly changing.
- You do not have significant heart valve disease, congenital heart disease, or a lung condition like COPD or interstitial lung disease that causes pulmonary hypertension.
- You are willing to give written consent to take part in the study.

This study looks at how common high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) is in people with certain blood cancers or blood disorders called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). It aims to find out what factors make it more likely, which may lead to better screening and 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 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 looks at pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the lung arteries—in people with certain heart conditions (heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping function, or significant valve disease). It may help doctors better understand how lung blood pressure changes in these heart problems and guide care.
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
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.
