RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION

This study looks at how the right side of the heart copes after major lung surgery. Researchers will compare minimally invasive methods (VATS and robotic surgery) with traditional open surgery in 100 patients with heart or lung problems. The goal is to see which approach puts les…

This study looks at whether detailed heart scans (echocardiograms and MRIs) can improve how doctors predict short-term risks in people with a type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Researchers will follow 50 adults for 6 months to see if addin…

This study looks at how simulated high altitude (2,500 m and 4,000 m) affects the right side of the heart in people with well-controlled asthma. Eighteen participants will breathe special gas mixtures to mimic altitude while resting and doing light exercise. The goal is to learn …

This study looks at how the right side of the heart works when there is less oxygen, like at high altitudes. It involves 18 adults who have had HAPE (high-altitude pulmonary edema) in the past. Participants breathe special gas mixtures to mimic altitudes of 2,500 and 4,000 meters…
