Could a simple arm cuff replace invasive heart monitoring?
NCT ID NCT06895603
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special arm cuff (Philips AMC) can measure how much blood the heart pumps (cardiac output) as accurately as the standard method using a catheter inserted into the heart. The trial will enroll 75 adults in the ICU or having surgery who already need a heart catheter. If the cuff works well, it could offer a safer, less invasive way to monitor heart function.
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 provide a safer, less invasive way to monitor heart function in critically ill patients, reducing risks from catheter use.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study (75 people) comparing a new device to an established one. The cuff may not be as accurate or reliable in all patients, and results may not apply to broader populations.
