Evaluating the link between vein size and heart pressure in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a correlation between echographic measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrial pressures (RAP) in pediatric patients. It involves both retrospective and prospective data collection at a single center, focusing on building a predictive model for RAP based on echocardiographic parameters. The study will analyze various ultrasound measurements of the IVC and patient-specific factors to create a tailored mathematical model for estimating RAP in children. Additionally, the accuracy of existing adult models will be evaluated in this pediatric cohort.
