Assessment of Peripheral Veins Doppler Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Acute Right Heart Failure in Suspicion or Follow-up of Pulmonary Hypertension

NCT04792879 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 103

Summary

Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Existence of indirect signs of ARHF on venous Doppler ultrasound waveform has long been described, but correlation with RAP has not been properly established yet. It is the aim of our study in order to obtain an additional tool to manage ARHF.

Conditions

  • Acute Right Heart Failure
  • Pulmonary Hypertension
  • Peripheral Veins Doppler Ultrasound

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Peripheral veins Doppler ultrasound

Patients undergoing a right heart catheterization for PH diagnosis or annual follow-up in the cardiological unit of the university hospital of Poitiers will be included. A venous Doppler ultrasound will be performed by a vascular physician, with experience in vascular ultrasound imaging, within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization. Morphological parameters of vena cava, and velocimetric parameters of femoral, jugular and supra-hepatic veins will be assessed in order to study their correlation with right auricular pressure value.
