Right heart health ultrasound study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 79 years old.
- Be able to have an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram).
- For healthy participants: no known heart, lung, or metabolic diseases, and normal blood pressure and blood tests.
- For patients: have a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, significant tricuspid regurgitation, or atrial septal defect.
- Not be a professional athlete or have poor-quality ultrasound images.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
This is a hospital-based study that collects standardized information about adults with specific heart conditions—heart failure, coronary artery disease, or atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
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.
