CT scans may offer a Needle-Free way to diagnose Lung-Heart condition
NCT ID NCT07667595
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look at 60 adults with a type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension) to see if measurements from a CT scan match those from a standard invasive heart catheter test. If the CT scan proves reliable, it could offer a safer, less invasive way to diagnose and monitor this condition. Participants must have both tests done within 4 weeks of each other.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that CT scans are reliable enough to reduce the need for invasive heart catheterization in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The CT and catheter measurements must be taken within 4 weeks, which may limit accuracy.
