A Study to Assess Pulmonary Congestion During Cardiac Hemodynamic Stress Testing
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The aims of this study are to correlate quantitative Lung Ultrasound (LUS) with gold-standard invasive hemodynamics during exercise in a continuous fashion, to use pulmonary thermodilution for dynamic Extravascular Lung Water (EVLW) measurements to allow direct correlation with sonographic interstitial lung thickening (B-lines) both at rest and during maximal effort exercise, and to examine how development of EVLW and B-lines relates to exercise capacity, symptoms and ventilatory control.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- All adult patients (≥ 18 years old) who are referred for invasive hemodynamic assessment of chronic dyspnea.
- Patients who have the capacity to understand and consent for the research study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with known interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis.
