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

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 looks at whether a heart ultrasound measurement called pulmonary artery pressure can help doctors predict if a patient with shortness of breath has a blood clot in the lungs. It compares current pressure readings with past readings to see if changes might signal a clot.
This study compares two ultrasound methods for checking the right side of the heart after a sudden blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). It aims to see if the newer method (strain imaging) is better at finding heart problems than the standard test.
This study looks at whether a special heart ultrasound can help predict early complications after a heart attack treated with a stent. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
This study is looking at how well the heart pumps blood in patients who have had a heart attack and are treated with a procedure to open blocked arteries. It aims to see if a simple heart ultrasound can predict recovery and health outcomes.
This study looks at how certain blood test results and heart ultrasound measurements relate to the severity of a blood clot in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand how to treat people with this condition.
