Exercise echo may catch silent heart failure in rare HHT liver disease
NCT ID NCT05954481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed pilot study looked at 47 adults with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) who also have liver involvement. Researchers used exercise echocardiography (heart ultrasound while pedaling) to measure lung artery pressure during exercise. The goal was to see if this test could detect early signs of heart failure before they show up at rest, potentially helping doctors decide when to consider advanced treatments like liver transplantation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
stress echocardiography
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to earlier detection of heart failure in HHT patients, potentially improving timing for treatments like liver transplantation.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 47 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is observational and does not test a new treatment.
