Contrast Echocardiography During Exercise to Assess Pulmonary Blood Volume

Assessment of Pulmonary Blood Volume Using Contrast Echocardiography During Exercise


Sponsor

Mayo Clinic

Enrollment

800 participants

Start Date

Jul 30, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pulmonary blood volume (PBV) derived from contrast echocardiography can serve as a non-invasive surrogate for invasive pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) during exercise. Also, to compare changes in PBV with exercise in patients with and without heart failure and pulmonary vascular disease.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a special type of heart ultrasound (contrast echocardiography) done during exercise can measure the amount of blood in the lungs, to help diagnose the cause of shortness of breath on exertion. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been referred to a cardiac catheterization procedure to investigate why you get breathless with activity - Your doctor is open to also performing an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) with contrast during the same session **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable or unwilling to undergo an echocardiogram with contrast dye - You have had a prior bad reaction to echo contrast - In the opinion of your doctor, the echocardiogram could interfere with the clinical procedure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
