Heart ultrasound for inflammatory bowel disease patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of ultrasound (called speckle tracking echocardiography) to check how well the heart works in people with inflammatory bowel disease. It may help doctors understand if the disease affects the heart, even when it isn't causing symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), whether it's active or in remission.
- You do not have heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or uncontrolled diabetes.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have no history of cancer.

This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide treatment can help manage inflammatory bowel disease. You may join if you are having an endoscopy to assess your disease.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests (called inflammatory biomarkers) can help measure how active your inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) is. It may help doctors better track your condition and guide treatment, without needing invasive procedures.
This study looks at heart health in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It may help doctors understand and manage heart risks in IBD patients.
This study compares different ultrasound-based scoring systems to see which is most accurate for assessing disease activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. If you have one of these conditions, participating could help improve how doctors measure disease severity without invasive tests.
This study tests if a standard ultrasound is as good as a high-end one at seeing inflammation in the gut. It could help people with IBD avoid more invasive procedures.
