Comparing heart ultrasound to invasive testing
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares results from an invasive heart test (hemodynamic assessment) with a non-invasive ultrasound (echocardiogram) done on the same day. It aims to see if the ultrasound can provide similar information, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a planned invasive hemodynamic test (a procedure to measure blood flow and pressure in your heart).
- You must also have an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) scheduled for the same day.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study uses a special 3D heart ultrasound to measure how well the tricuspid valve and right side of the heart are working. It may help improve how these conditions are evaluated and followed over time.
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound of the heart gives better information than a standard 2D ultrasound in people with heart failure. It aims to improve how doctors measure heart function, which could help guide treatment.
This study looks at whether a quick ultrasound done at the bedside (point-of-care) can give similar information to a full echocardiogram. Participants must be adults having both tests within 24 hours of each other, and their medical data must be available for research.
This study tests a new digital method for analyzing heart ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if computer software can help doctors read heart scans more accurately and quickly.
This study tests a new way to measure heart pressure using an ultrasound, which may help doctors decide how to treat patients in intensive care. If successful, it could be used more widely in the future.
This trial tests a new way to measure how much blood your heart pumps using a simple ultrasound from under your ribs. It may help doctors monitor your condition without more invasive tests.
