Heart Imaging to Predict Outcomes in Pulmonary Embolism
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs)
- You have had a transthoracic echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to check how your right heart chamber is functioning
- Your medical records are complete with all necessary clinical information

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
This study uses heart signals and blood tests to predict how well your heart will recover over a year after a pulmonary embolism. It may help doctors tailor your care based on your personal risk.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (strain imaging) to see how your right heart works after a pulmonary embolism, comparing it to standard echocardiogram results. It may help doctors better understand recovery and guide future treatment.
This study examines how red blood cell counts and heart function relate in patients with pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Understanding these connections may help doctors better assess severity and guide treatment decisions.
This study tests a new, non-invasive imaging method called pulsatile electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to help diagnose and monitor acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). It may provide a faster or safer way to detect clots compared to standard CT scans, especially for patients who cannot have contrast dye.
This trial studies a tool that uses CT scan results and heart blood tests to predict the chance of serious outcomes after an acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner.
