NCT ID NCT07453017

First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a non-invasive chest monitor called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can accurately diagnose pulmonary hypertension, a serious lung condition. Currently, diagnosis requires an invasive procedure called right heart catheterization. The study will enroll 120 people with suspected pulmonary hypertension to see if EIT measurements match those from the catheter, potentially offering a safer, simpler screening tool.
