Liver scanner may spare heart patients from dangerous catheters
NCT ID NCT07222813
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests if a non-invasive liver scan (FibroScan) can accurately detect elevated central venous pressure in people with heart failure. Currently, doctors use a catheter inserted into the heart, which carries risks. The study will enroll 149 adults with suspected or confirmed heart failure who are already scheduled for catheterization. If successful, the scan could offer a safer, simpler way to monitor heart failure.
