Peripheral vein pressure test for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if measuring pressure from a vein in the arm can help guide treatment for people hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It aims to understand if this simple procedure could replace or reduce the need for more invasive monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had heart failure for at least 3 months
- You are now in the hospital because your heart failure got worse
- You already have a small IV tube in your arm
- You speak English
- You do not have a blood clot or infection in the arm with the IV
- You have not had a heart attack or stroke in the last 2 months

This study tests a new method to measure the pressure in the large veins near the heart without causing extra harm. Children in intensive care who already have a special heart-monitoring tube will be observed to see if this new technique works accurately.
This study tests a device that measures blood flow and pressure in a noninvasive way (using sensors on the body) for people admitted with worsening heart failure. It may help doctors monitor heart failure and potentially lower the chance of coming back to the hospital.
This study tests a new way to guide fluid removal (decongestive therapy) in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors safely reduce fluid buildup, no matter what type of heart failure you have.
This study tests if a non-invasive method can estimate central venous pressure, reducing the need for invasive catheters in heart patients.
This trial uses a special heart test called pressure volume loop assessment to better understand how well your heart pumps when you have severe valve disease. It aims to find patterns that may help doctors treat you more effectively. You may join if you have certain types of severe heart valve problems.
This study tests whether a small wireless sensor can safely measure and track pressure in the left upper heart chamber in people with advanced chronic heart failure. It may help the care team better understand pressure changes that are linked to fluid buildup and symptoms, alongside your usual heart medicines.
