Contrast Echocardiography During Exercise to Assess Pulmonary Blood Volume

Recruiting
Conditions
Heart Failure
Pulmonary Vascular Disease
Registration Number
NCT06195059
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief 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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance at RestBaseline

Capacitance is defined as the total volume of blood in an organ or region at a given pressure. Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance (ml/mmHg) will be determined by pulmonary blood volume/mean pulmonary artery pressure as measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance During ExerciseBaseline

Capacitance is defined as the total volume of blood in an organ or region at a given pressure. Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance (ml/mmHg) will be determined by pulmonary blood volume/mean pulmonary artery pressure as measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pulmonary Blood Volume at RestBaseline

Pulmonary blood volume (ml) is measured by measuring indicator dilution curves using sonographic contrast at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Artery Pressure at RestBaseline

Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Artery Pressure During ExerciseBaseline

Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Cardiac Output During ExerciseBaseline

Cardiac output (L/min) is the total volume of blood moved by the heart per minute and will be measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure at RestBaseline

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure During ExerciseBaseline

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Vascular Resistance During ExerciseBaseline

Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is the resistance against blood flow from the pulmonary artery to the left atrium. PVR (in Wood units) will be measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Blood Volume During ExerciseBaseline

Pulmonary blood volume (ml) is measured by measuring indicator dilution curves using sonographic contrast during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Pulmonary Vascular Compliance at RestBaseline

Compliance is the change in volume for a given change in pressure. Pulmonary Vascular Compliance (ml/mmHg) is defined as stroke volume divided by Pulmonary Artery (PA) pulse pressure and will be measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Compliance is the change in volume for a given change in pressure. Pulmonary Vascular Compliance (ml/mmHg) is defined as stroke volume divided by Pulmonary Artery (PA) pulse pressure and will be measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Right Atrial Pressure at RestBaseline

Right Atrial Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Right Atrial Pressure During ExerciseBaseline

Right Atrial Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Right Ventricular Pressure at RestBaseline

Right Ventricular Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.

Right Ventricular Pressure During ExerciseBaseline

Right Ventricular Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure, measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature during the exercise portion of the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.
