Overview

The aim of this prospective observational study is to assess the accuracy of non-invasive hemodynamic parameter estimation via trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) compared to the invasive gold standard of right heart catheterization (RHC). This study will include patients who undergo both TTE and RHC on the same day, under the same hemodynamic conditions. The primary research question is: how does the echodynamic evaluation perform compared to right heart catheterization?

Description

The non-invasive echocardiographic assessment will be used to esimate via mathematic formulas all the direct and indirect paramethers obtained from the right side catheterization. Each value obtained from the model using echocardiographic paramethers will be compared to the invasive finding.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical need for an invasive hemodynamic assessment and an echocardiographic evaluation on the same day

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Incomplete hemodynamic assessment for any reason

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
