Blood test during heart procedure from a wedge position
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether measuring blood gases from a specific heart “wedge” position during a right heart catheter test gives useful information. It may help doctors understand how blood and oxygen are doing in certain heart and lung conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You already have a clear reason to get a right heart catheterization
- You can fully understand the study and agree by signing consent
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- The wedge position blood test can be done safely for you (it must be possible)

This study is watching people who are having their first right heart catheterization to better understand and manage lung blood pressure problems. It may help doctors improve diagnosis and treatment for people with shortness of breath or suspected pulmonary hypertension.
This study observes people who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization, a procedure that checks the pressure in your heart. It helps doctors learn more about heart conditions without adding any extra treatments or procedures.
This trial uses data from standard heart tests to develop a better way to detect pulmonary hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to help doctors diagnose this condition earlier and more accurately.
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
This study collects information from people with rare types of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and from healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand these conditions, especially using a special lung-heart test to confirm the diagnosis.
