First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study tests whether using ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a thin tube into the heart's blood vessels works as well as the usual X-ray method in people with pulmonary hypertension. The goal is to make the procedure safer, faster, and available at the bedside without radiation. About 35 adults will take part to see if ultrasound alone can successfully place the catheter and measure heart pressures accurately.
