Finger cuff could replace invasive heart tests for high blood pressure in lungs
NCT ID NCT05618093
Summary
This study aims to see if a non-invasive finger cuff device can accurately measure how well the heart is pumping in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Researchers will compare the device's readings against measurements taken during a standard, more invasive heart catheterization procedure. The goal is to find an easier way to monitor disease severity and response to treatment over time.
