Leg ultrasound to predict heart pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if a leg ultrasound can help doctors estimate the pressure in your heart's main pumping chamber before a heart procedure. If it works, it could give useful information without extra tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a heart procedure called coronary angiography with left heart catheterization
- You do not have any condition that makes heart catheterization unsafe for you
- The ultrasound of your leg veins and arteries can be done accurately

This study tests whether using lung ultrasound at regular visits can help guide care for people with heart failure. It may help doctors spot worsening fluid problems earlier, before symptoms become severe.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to predict outcomes in people hospitalized for sudden heart failure. If you are receiving IV fluid-removing medication, the results may help your doctors understand your condition better.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound to look at how well the heart's upper chambers are working. It aims to predict the chance of serious heart issues in the next 6 months for people who had a certain type of heart attack (NSTEMI).
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound of the heart gives better information than a standard 2D ultrasound in people with heart failure. It aims to improve how doctors measure heart function, which could help guide treatment.
This study uses ultrasound to measure changes in a large vein near the heart before cardiac surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working before the procedure.
This study tests a new way to use ultrasound (echocardiogram) to measure heart pressure in people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Participants will have an ultrasound and a heart catheterization to see if the new ultrasound method can accurately detect elevated pressures.
