Magnetic sensor could replace needles for heart pressure readings
NCT ID NCT05943275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a magnetic sensor placed on the skin can accurately measure blood pressure in the jugular vein and radial artery, compared to standard invasive methods using catheters. The study involves 10 adults with complex congenital heart disease or chronic right heart failure who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization. If the sensor proves reliable, it could offer a non-invasive way to monitor right heart function over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnetic sensor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simpler, non-invasive way to monitor right heart function in patients with complex congenital heart disease or chronic right heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-stage study (10 participants) focused on validating a device, not treating disease. The sensor may not match the accuracy of invasive measurements.
