Microbubbles may replace needles for heart pressure checks

NCT ID NCT07416279

First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This early study tests if ultrasound contrast agents (microbubbles) can estimate pressure inside the heart, potentially replacing the need for a catheter. Ten adults with suspected heart disease will receive a standard contrast injection and an ultrasound scan. Researchers will compare the microbubble signal to catheter measurements to see if it can accurately gauge heart pressure.
