Validation of a non-invasive pressure measurement device during cardiac catheterization

Validation of a Magnetic Sensor for the Non-invasive Measurement of Jugular Venous and Radial Arterial Pressure in Patients During Cardiac Catheterization

Not applicable Interventional University Hospital, Montpellier · NCT05943275

This study is testing a new non-invasive device that measures blood pressure in patients with complex heart conditions to see if it can help detect heart problems earlier than traditional methods.

What this trial studies

This study aims to validate a new non-invasive magnetic sensor designed to measure jugular venous and radial arterial pressures in patients with complex congenital heart disease and chronic right heart failure. The goal is to improve the early detection of right ventricular dysfunction, which is often challenging due to the unique anatomical and hemodynamic characteristics of these conditions. By utilizing this innovative technology, the study seeks to provide a more sensitive alternative to traditional imaging methods like ultrasound and MRI. Participants will be those undergoing right-sided catheterization, and the study will assess the effectiveness of the sensor in real-time clinical settings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for right-sided catheterization.

Not a fit: Patients with metal implants near the sensor application area or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection and management of right heart dysfunction in patients with complex congenital heart disease.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in using non-invasive methods for hemodynamic monitoring, suggesting potential for success.
