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.

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 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 trial tests whether a new way of performing an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) from a distance can match the quality of the in-person exam. You may join if you are already scheduled for an echocardiogram and agree to both procedures.
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.
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.
