Clinical Trial: Identifying Right Ventricular Dysfunction in COPD Through Right Heart Catheterization, Imaging and Exercise
Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: COPD
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Identifying Patterns of Resting and Exertional Right Ventricular Dysfunction Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Artery Enlargement
Brief Summary:
This study plans to learn more about heart function among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).In particular, the investigators want to understand the different patterns of right ventricular response to pulmonary hypertension (high pressure in the lungs) during rest and exercise.By identifying patterns of right ventricular dysfunction, this study will help identify better treatments for patients with COPD in the future.
