Real-time Pressure Volume Loop Monitoring in Heart Interventions Study
This study, called PLUTO-II, aims to better understand heart function changes during certain heart procedures. These procedures include Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and Tricuspid Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER). These are less invasive ways to fix heart valves.
Pressure-Volume (PV) Loop Monitoring is a technique used to see how the heart is working by looking at the pressure and volume in the heart's chambers. This helps doctors understand how the heart and blood vessels work together during and after the procedures.
Key Points:
- Participants will have PV loop measurements before and after the procedure.
- This study is for adults undergoing scheduled TAVI or TEER procedures.
- People with congenital heart disease or using certain heart support devices can't participate.
The goal is to use this information to help make better decisions during heart procedures. If you're considering joining, ensure you meet the criteria and understand the study's requirements.
