Old heart pressure data may speed up lung clot detection
NCT ID NCT07641400
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether comparing a patient's previous pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) reading with one taken during an ER visit can help doctors quickly identify a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). Researchers will review records of 80 adults who come to the ER with shortness of breath and are suspected of having a clot. The goal is to improve early risk assessment without extra tests.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea between the specified dates, * Being 18 years of age or older, * Being evaluated in the emergency department with a preliminary diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, * Having a recorded pulmonary artery pressure measurement at the time of hospital admission, * Having a previous pulmonary artery pressure measurement in the patient's records, * Having sufficient and complete clinical, laboratory, imaging, and echocardiography data available for the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under 18 years of age, * Lack of pulmonary artery pressure data from the time of emergency admission or from the previous period, * Lack of necessary clinical, laboratory, or imaging data for pulmonary embolism evaluation, * In cases of repeated admissions for the same patient, only the first suitable admission will be considered; other admissions will be excluded from the study, * Patients whose data is unavailable in the record system or whose data is insufficient to be analyzed for research purposes.Inclusion Criteria for the Study
