New device may help monitor heart function in pregnancy without needles
NCT ID NCT03735043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive device called ccNexfin can accurately measure cardiac output (how much blood the heart pumps) in pregnant women. 100 pregnant women past 32 weeks participated. The goal was to see if this device could replace or supplement standard ultrasound-based monitoring, potentially allowing earlier detection of problems that could affect the baby.
