Heart Pump's impact on failing hearts to be measured in new study
NCT ID NCT07534462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study will observe how the Impella 5.5 heart pump changes the way the heart squeezes and works in adults with end-stage heart failure. Researchers will use ultrasound (echocardiography) to measure heart function before, right after, and 7-14 days after the pump is placed. The goal is to better understand the pump's effects, not to test a new treatment.
