First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 623 adults with heart failure or high blood pressure in the lungs to see how well different tests measure pressure inside the heart. Doctors used both non-invasive ultrasound (echocardiogram) and invasive catheter measurements to check for elevated filling pressure, which can cause shortness of breath. The goal was to understand which methods work best to guide treatment decisions.
