Heart Function Monitoring With Existing Catheter
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures how well oxygen is being delivered to your body in patients with severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock. You'll be monitored using a catheter (tube) already placed in your heart's blood vessels to help doctors understand your condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with advanced heart failure or cardiogenic shock (severe heart pumping problems)
- You already have a pulmonary artery catheter in place (a monitoring tube in your heart's vessels)
- You are able to give informed consent and make medical decisions for yourself
- You are not on a ventilator or home oxygen therapy
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease requiring dialysis, and have not had a liver or kidney transplant

This study tests a small chest sensor that tracks your heart activity while you're in the hospital. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and prevent future crises.
This study looks at how a small monitor inside the blood vessel to the lungs helps manage heart failure. It aims to improve care for people with advanced heart failure.
This study tests a special monitoring approach (likely using an implanted device) to help prevent serious complications after you survive cardiogenic shock in the hospital. It may help the care team detect problems earlier so treatments can start sooner.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitoring device during your hospital stay for heart problems helps doctors catch problems faster and keep you safer. The device tracks your heart rhythm and other vital signs continuously.
This trial studies whether using a special pressure-monitoring tube in the heart’s main artery (a pulmonary artery catheter) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock from weak heart pumping. If you qualify, the goal is to improve how doctors monitor and treat this dangerous, fast-moving condition.
This study tests whether a wearable device that monitors your heart and transmits data to your doctor can help optimize your heart failure medications after hospitalization. The goal is to prevent future hospital visits and improve your health by keeping closer tabs on how your body responds to treatment adjustments.
