ACUTE PULMONARY EMBOLISM

This study is testing whether a simple bedside heart ultrasound can help predict which emergency patients with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) are likely to have serious complications within the next few days. Researchers will perform the ultrasound on 250 patient…

This study is testing a standard screening method to find a condition called chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in people who had a blood clot in their lungs 3 to 12 months earlier. Researchers will check if certain tests, like heart ultrasound or lung scans, c…

This study compares a new, radiation-free bedside test using saline contrast and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) against standard CT scans (CTPA) for diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). Researchers will enroll 343 patients with suspected or confi…

This study tests whether getting daily texts or emails with healthy living tips can help people recover after being hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). One hundred adults will receive these tips for 8 weeks while also taking standard blood thinners.…

This study is a registry that follows up to 10,000 people who have been diagnosed with a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) and started blood-thinning medication within 14 days. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic will track how many patients have another clot or …

This study uses a special type of MRI (called 129Xe gas exchange MRI) to take detailed pictures of how the lungs and heart work together. Researchers want to understand how these images change after treatments like blood transfusions or oxygen therapy. The study involves 125 adul…

This study aims to find out how often people develop a serious lung condition called chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after having a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Researchers will use heart ultrasounds to look for early signs of heart strain i…
