Observing patients having a right heart catheterization
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study observes people who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization, a procedure that checks the pressure in your heart. It helps doctors learn more about heart conditions without adding any extra treatments or procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form
- You are scheduled for a right heart catheterization (a procedure to check the pressure in your heart)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study

This study is watching people who are having their first right heart catheterization to better understand and manage lung blood pressure problems. It may help doctors improve diagnosis and treatment for people with shortness of breath or suspected pulmonary hypertension.
This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
This study looks at whether a special CT scan of the lungs (CT pulmonary angiography) can give results similar to a more invasive heart catheterization test for measuring blood pressure in the lungs. It may help doctors diagnose and monitor pulmonary hypertension more easily in the future.
This study aims to better understand how COPD affects the blood vessels in your lungs by looking at measurements from a right heart catheterization. It may help doctors identify a specific pattern of lung and heart problems in people with COPD.
This study uses advanced 3D ultrasound to measure the connection between the right atrium and right ventricle. It aims to establish normal ranges and check how this measurement changes in conditions like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and valve problems. Participation may help improve diagnosis and care for these heart conditions.
This study looks at pulmonary hypertension—high blood pressure in the lung arteries—in people with certain heart conditions (heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping function, or significant valve disease). It may help doctors better understand how lung blood pressure changes in these heart problems and guide care.
