Lung Artery Pressure and Predicting Blood Clots in Lungs
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how pressure measurements in the lung's main blood vessel can help doctors quickly identify patients with blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Researchers will review past medical records and test results to see if this measurement is a useful tool for diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You went to the emergency room with shortness of breath
- You are 18 years of age or older
- Doctors thought you might have a blood clot in your lung when you arrived at the hospital
- You had a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) that measured pressure in your lung's main blood vessel when you arrived
- You have a previous pressure measurement from before this hospital visit in your medical records
- Your medical records have complete test results, lab work, and imaging scans available

This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at imaging scans from people who might have a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to help doctors better diagnose and treat this condition.
This trial looks at how long people need blood-thinning medicine after a serious blood clot in the lungs. It might help doctors find the best treatment length for each person.
This real-world study compares different treatment approaches for pulmonary embolism (PE)—a serious blood clot in the lung arteries—in patients who are stable but at intermediate-to-high risk of complications. The goal is to understand which treatments work best and safest in everyday practice.
This study collects information from people with rare types of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and from healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand these conditions, especially using a special lung-heart test to confirm the diagnosis.
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.
