As part of this examination, blood samples are taken from various locations as standard and blood gas analyses are performed. One of the most important measurements during the right heart catheterization is the measurement of the pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure by the so-called wedge maneuver. To measure this value, the catheter with inflated balloon must be advanced into the pulmonary vessels until the \"wedge\" position is reached, i.e. the balloon completely occludes a branch of the pulmonary artery. In this study, the investigators want to characterize patients with pulmonary hypertension of different causes in more detail. To do that, two blood samples (totaling approximately 4 mL of blood, one sample directly after occlusion and the other one two minutes later) will be drawn during the right heart catheterization from the above-mentioned \"wedge\" position\", behind the inflated balloon, and blood gas analyses will be performed on these samples. In addition, various clinical parameters (comorbidities, etc.) will be recorded by means of clinical questionnaires. Follow-up data will be analyzed and correlations with the aforementioned blood gas analyses will be examined. The results of the study will be used to more precisely characterize the still vague concept of secondary pulmonary hypertension. This could help to develop new therapeutic strategies in some subgroups in the future.",[25],"Pulmonary Hypertension","RECRUITING","2026-02-03",{"date":29,"type":30},"2026-02-06","ACTUAL",{"date":32,"type":30},"2021-06-25",{"date":34,"type":21},"2026-06-30",{"name":36,"class":37},"Ayham Daher","OTHER",1,{"id":40,"slug":41,"hasResults":11,"nctId":42,"briefTitle":43,"officialTitle":44,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":45,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":18,"enrollmentInfo":46,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":4,"briefSummary":48,"conditions":49,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":26,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":53,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":54,"startDateStruct":56,"completionDateStruct":58,"leadSponsor":60,"locationsCount":38},"100442502","effects-of-pulmonary-diseases-and-their-treatment-on-cardiac-function-100442502","NCT05042219","Effects of Pulmonary Diseases and Their Treatment on Cardiac Function","The Relationship Between Pulmonary and Cardiac Dysfunction and the Cardiac Effects of Pulmonary Treatments: Cardiopulmonary MRI Analysis","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with chronic lung disease requiring treatment (COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis).\n* Age \\> 18 years\n* Informed consent to participate in the study will sign\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals who are not fully capable of giving consent and understanding the nature, significance and scope of the study.\n* Patients with contraindications to MRI examination (eg, pacemaker, severe claustrophobia) or to contrast medium use (severe renal insufficiency or glomerular filtration rate \\\u003C30 ml\u002Fmin, known gadolinium contrast medium allergy)\n* Patients with atrial fibrillation or other significant cardiac arrhythmias that interfere with cardiac MRI\n* Pregnancy and lactation",{"count":47,"type":21},120,"While the bidirectional relationship between the lung and the right heart are well studied, the cardiopulmonary interactions between the lung and the left heart are largely unresearched and not well understood. However, in recent years, there is a growing evidence that partially explains the bidirectional interaction between COPD and left heart. Systemic inflammation with multiorgan involvement is thought to play a role in COPD as a systemic disease. Some therapeutic approaches to COPD also appear to influence these cardiopulmonary interactions. While understanding these interactions is very important for clinicians, scientific data are scarce. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function and dimensions as well as myocardial inflammation. Despite this excellent suitability of cardiac MRI for the assessment of cardiovascular function, only few studies have investigated cardiac function and myocardial structure in patients with pulmonary disease using cardiac MRI. Such a study is therefore very important for understanding the effects of pulmonary disease and its management on the heart.\n\nThe objective is to determine cardiac function in patients with pulmonary disease and to analyze the cardiovascular effects of the treatment of the pulmonary disease.\n\nSpecifically, the following will be studied:\n\n* Using cardiac MRI: Cardiac function and volumes and indications of myocardial fibrosis and edema in patients with chronic pulmonary disease at the time of first diagnosis.\n* the vascular function of pulmonary arteries in these patients, also using cardiac MRI\n* the relationship between pulmonary function parameters and cardiac dysfunction to identify patients at increased risk, if applicable.\n* Echocardiographic assessment of left heart including strain analysis.\n* the course of these cardiovascular parameters (using cardiac MRI and echocardiography) 3-6 months after initiation of guideline-based therapy for pulmonary disease.",[50,51,52],"COPD","Bronchial Asthma","Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis","2024-07-15",{"date":55,"type":30},"2024-07-16",{"date":57,"type":30},"2022-06-01",{"date":59,"type":21},"2026-12-14",{"name":36,"class":37},""]
