Sleep problems and outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (abnormal breathing during sleep) affects the long-term health of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. By participating, you will have a sleep study and be followed over time to see how your breathing during sleep relates to your PAH outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is a type of high blood pressure in the lungs, established by a heart catheterization test.
- Your PAH can be from various causes, including inherited, caused by drugs or toxins, related to connective tissue disease, congenital heart disease, portal hypertension, or HIV.
- You need to be stable enough to undergo an overnight sleep monitoring study, which tracks your breathing and heart during sleep.
- You must be willing and able to provide written consent and participate in long-term follow-up visits.

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.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs respond to starting a blood vessel–widening medication (a vasodilator) for pulmonary hypertension. It will closely monitor your breathing and heart rhythm to help doctors understand and improve treatment.
This study tests whether self-help booklets can improve sleep in adults with pulmonary hypertension. You'll be asked to complete questionnaires and use the booklets at home.
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
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 looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
