How well does the right heart recover after a pulmonary embolism?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (strain imaging) to see how your right heart works after a pulmonary embolism, comparing it to standard echocardiogram results. It may help doctors better understand recovery and guide future treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed pulmonary embolism (PE) from a CT scan.
- You had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) within 24 hours of your PE diagnosis.
- You do not have significant pre-existing right heart problems.
- You have not had a previous pulmonary embolism.

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 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.
This study examines how red blood cell counts and heart function relate in patients with pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Understanding these connections may help doctors better assess severity and guide treatment decisions.
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 is testing if repeated imaging can help monitor blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) over time. It may help doctors know how well treatment is working and if further care is needed.
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.
