Heart imaging for inflammatory bowel disease patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to check heart function in people with inflammatory bowel disease, whether their disease is active or in remission. It aims to find early signs of heart changes that might be linked to IBD.
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).
- Your IBD can be active or in remission.
- You do not have ischemic heart disease or other heart conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a 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 looks at whether certain blood markers can help measure disease activity in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It involves reviewing medical records and may include a colonoscopy if you have one done as part of your routine care.
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 for specific body signals (called mitochondrial “DAMPs”) that may reflect active inflammation in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It also checks how these markers relate to what doctors see during colonoscopy or flexible scope exams, to help understand inflammation and potentially guide future care.
This study looks at changes in fats (lipids) in the blood and the lining of the gut in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help researchers understand IBD better and find new ways to treat it.
This study looks at cardiovascular risks in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. It may help understand how IBD affects heart health.
