Heart and lung blood flow during exercise
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are referred by a doctor for a heart or lung evaluation (like an echocardiogram or exercise test), or you are a healthy volunteer, athlete, or high-altitude resident.
- You are classified according to standard guidelines for pulmonary hypertension (a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs).
- You have no active cancer.
- You are not currently pregnant.
- You are physically able to do exercise (no recent heart attack, severe chest pain, or major joint problems).
- You agree to have your data used anonymously for research.

This study measures how well the right side of your heart works when you are resting and when you exercise, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help researchers better understand COPD-related heart strain and guide future care.
This study looks at how the right side of your heart responds when you exercise, in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). The goal is to understand this response better and potentially improve treatments.
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.
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 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 uses advanced 3D ultrasound to measure the connection between the right atrium and right ventricle. It aims to establish normal ranges and check how this measurement changes in conditions like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and valve problems. Participation may help improve diagnosis and care for these heart conditions.
