Clinical Registry for the Characterization of the 'Pulmonary Vascular Phenotype' in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This study looks at information from people in the UK with COPD who have had a special heart test. It aims to understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in the lungs, especially when people also have high blood pressure in their lungs, called pulmonary hypertension.

Accuracy of Smartwatches in Measuring Oxygen Levels in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension: A Pilot Study
This study checks how well smartwatches measure oxygen levels in people with pulmonary hypertension. Researchers compare smartwatch readings with hospital equipment and blood tests, at rest, after exercise, and in low oxygen, all during a single hospital visit to see if smartwatches are accurate enough.

Developing the Probability Algorithm for Pulmonary Hypertension Echocardiography
This study looks at new ways to spot a condition called pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lung arteries. It uses heart scans (echocardiograms) and electrical heart readings (ECGs) to see if adding new measurements can help doctors find the condition earlier and more accurately.

Improving Pulmonary Hypertension Screening by Echocardiography
This study looks at a new way to spot a type of high blood pressure in the lungs, called pulmonary hypertension, earlier. It uses a special heart scan to find people who might have this condition, even if current tests don't clearly show it.

Diaphragmatic Function as a Biomarker
This study looks at how your breathing muscles, especially your diaphragm, work if you have lung conditions like asthma or COPD. We want to understand if problems with these muscles are linked to feeling breathless and what that might mean for your health.
