Predicting heart function after a pulmonary embolism
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses heart signals and blood tests to predict how well your heart will recover over a year after a pulmonary embolism. It may help doctors tailor your care based on your personal risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in your lungs) within the past 14 days.
- Your condition is classified as intermediate-low, intermediate-high, or high risk by your doctor.
- You agree to have your heart signals and blood samples studied.
- You do not have a history of blood clots that came back or needed treatment again.
- You are able to wear a small device on your chest for heart monitoring and can use a smartphone app.

This study uses ultrasound images of your heart to see how well the right side is working in people who have a blood clot in the lungs. The goal is to better predict which patients might be at higher risk and need more intensive care.
This study follows people who had a serious blood clot in their lungs that also affected their heart's right side. It tests how their ability to walk and move changes over 6 months, helping doctors understand recovery better.
This trial studies a structured pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation program for people who still have breathing and activity problems after a pulmonary embolism (PE). It may help improve physical ability and function during recovery.
This study records information about people who have had a pulmonary embolism, so researchers can learn how patients do over time. It may help improve understanding of outcomes and care patterns for future patients.
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) and an inhaled/linked tracer to measure how well air and blood flow work in different lung areas after a pulmonary embolism. It’s meant to better understand regional lung function and how rehabilitation may help some people recover.
