Heart ultrasound study for nursing home residents
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a simple heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to check the heart health of nursing home residents. It may help doctors understand common heart changes in older adults and plan better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses a heart ultrasound test to find people who may have weak heart pumping function, especially in a multi-ethnic community. It may help improve how doctors detect this condition earlier using ultrasound images.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
This study looks at how the heart is affected in critically ill patients who need a breathing machine. It uses ultrasound and other simple tests to check for heart problems that can happen in the ICU, which may help doctors find and treat them earlier.
This study looks at the health of people with heart valve disease over several years, using echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart) to see how the condition changes. It may help doctors understand and improve care for people with this condition.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to predict outcomes in people hospitalized for sudden heart failure. If you are receiving IV fluid-removing medication, the results may help your doctors understand your condition better.
This trial tests a new heart ultrasound method to measure stiffness in the heart muscle, which could help doctors diagnose a type of heart failure where the heart is stiff but still squeezes normally. It is for elderly patients with heart failure, and the findings might lead to a simpler and safer way to identify this condition.
