New treatment option for COPD
Official title Right Ventricular Response to Exercise Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07576894
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- 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 during rest and moderate- vs high-intensity exercise.
