NCT ID NCT07184060

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will observe 55 adults with obstructive sleep apnea to see if the severity of their breathing pauses during sleep is linked to higher blood pressure in the lungs. Researchers will use echocardiography to measure lung artery pressure. The goal is to better understand the connection between these two conditions, which may help with future diagnosis or care.
